Discovery Walkers take a jaunt along the mouth of the Elk River, a long slough that empties into Humboldt Bay and creates the Elk River Peninsula
Elk River Wildlife Sanctuary
Discovery walkers meet in the undeveloped parking lot at the foot of Truesdale Street, next to the Ray's supermarket near the Bayshore Mall. We walk the length of the Bay coast, and along the near coast reaches of the Elk River up to the railroad trestle bridge and the path to Pound Road. Proposed trail and park improvements to the area were reviewed. Visit the Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay website's "Elk River Access Project" page for documents and pictures of the planned improvements to this area.
