Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is a state park of California, United States, harboring groves of coast redwoods in three separate units along the Van Duzen River. It is located Шаблон:Convert south of Eureka, California, then another Шаблон:Convert east of Fortuna on State Route 36. The small park was created by a donation from Owen R. Cheatham, founder of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, who wanted to preserve the stand of redwoods in perpetuity. Originally established in 1943, the park has grown to Шаблон:Convert.[1] Cheatham Grove, Шаблон:Convert west of the main unit, was added to the park in 1983 due to efforts of the Save the Redwoods League.[2]

Use

The park is so secluded due to its location off the major regional artery, U.S. Route 101, that on a weekday a visitor can be the only person in any one of the several groves.[3] Cheatham Grove has a small trail about a mile long and was one of the filming sites for Return of the Jedi as the forest moon of Endor. There is also 1 albino redwood along the trail and is the location of a Redwood Edventure Quest.[4]

Climate

According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park has a warm-summer mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.

Proposed for closure

Шаблон:Update section Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park was one of 70 California state parks proposed for closure by July 2012 as part of a deficit reduction program.[5] It was previously one of several state parks threatened with closure in 2008. Those closures were ultimately avoided by cutting hours and maintenance system-wide.[6]
