We need youR support now!
People on the north coast have been working for over a decade to create a regional trail system. We have the opportunity right now to compete nationally for $50 million to invest in our local economy to build and manage a feasible, fundable, popular Humboldt Bay Trail system and a network of pedestrian and bike facilities around Humboldt County, creating literally hundreds of jobs in the process.
The Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay needs to raise $10,000 this month to produce a compelling proposal that will compete nationally, and show federal, state and local governments that we have what it takes: local commitment and public support.

And remember, the trail starts here!
Have you ever visited cities like Eugene, Astoria, and Redding and noticed the inviting public trails serving the recreation and transportation needs of walkers, cyclists, skaters, and paddlers?
A group of local citizens feel
our region is ready for improved multi-use trail systems and deserves
improved walking and bicycling facilities in the Humboldt Bay region – starting
with the Eureka waterfront.
The Eureka City Council recently adopted a vision for the Waterfront Trail and Promenade in Eureka. The Eureka Trails Committee created this vision for a contiguous 6.5 mile combination of trail, boardwalk, and promenade from one end of the Eureka waterfront to the other. Eureka's historic wild and working waterfront is a unique and untapped recreational opportunity for our region.
The Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay was formed to promote and encourage the development of multiuse trails in the Humboldt Bay region. The Trail Trust's first effort will be to encourage and support the development of the Elk River Access Project, a portion of the waterfront trail connecting Truesdale Avenue and Herrick Avenue in South Eureka.
The Elk River Access Project will include day use facilities, picnic tables, and a vista point overlooking Humboldt Bay at the foot of Truesdale Avenue. Over one mile of multi-use trail suitable for biking and hiking will be extend south to Herrick Avenue.
Interested in helping build this portion of the Eureka Waterfront Trail and Promenade? Join the Trails Trust of Humboldt Bay!
