Detailed Information
Fern Canyon is a remarkable canyon in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County. The park has a level trail of about one mile following Home Creek and coursing through the forest. This modest stream has, over the eons, carved a 50 to 80 foot deep canyon through the rich sedimentary soils. Its walls sprout an amazing variety of luxuriant ferns and other moisture-loving plants, and on a sunny day, thousands of tiny drops of moisture make the canyon walls sparkle.
