Tucked along the Van Duzen River east of Fortuna, Grizzly Creek is one of the least-visited redwood parks in California — yet its old-growth groves rival anything in the more famous parks. Summer swimming holes in the clear Van Duzen, old-growth hiking trails, and a small campground make it a classic hidden gem of the redwood coast.
