Celebrate the beginning of a new era for outdoor recreation and transportation in Humboldt County. After two decades of vision, planning and community persistence, Humboldt is ready to celebrate a milestone: the completion of the Humboldt Bay Trail South segment, linking Eureka and Arcata with a continuous, safe and scenic bike and pedestrian trail along the bay.
Come mark this historic moment on Saturday, June 28, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Adorni Recreation Center (free). This family-friendly event features live music, a DJ, food trucks and beer and booths from local nonprofits and agencies providing information and giveaways. Enjoy bike rentals and tune-ups, a bike valet and a chance to connect with fellow trail supporters.
Listen to remarks by Senate President Pro Tempore Mike McGuire, Great Redwood Trail Agency Executive Director Elaine Hogan and Humboldt County’s Deputy Public Works Director Hank Seemann.
Earlier in the day, trail lovers can participate in a fun run, a community skate date, organized trail cleanups and a group ride from Arcata to Eureka, with bus and bike shuttle options available.
