Park rangers invite everyone to bike, hike or walk their dog along the ten-mile road, which meanders among some of the most impressive old growth groves in Redwood National & State Parks.
The Bike’n’Hike Days will provide opportunities for park visitors to experience the parkway without the noise, speed and sound of cars and trucks.
Come explore one of the most beautiful and historic roadways in northern California by foot, bicycle, skateboard, rollerblades, wheelchair or any other non-motorized vehicle.
Dogs on leash are also welcome on the parkway, although they are prohibited on the trails for the safety of park visitors and wildlife. For nearby redwood trails that permit Fido in the forest, see our Dog-Friendly Redwoods Parks E-Guide (external site).
The Drury Parkway is a segment of the historic Redwood Highway parallel to Highway 101, 45 miles north of the coastal town of Eureka.
Much of the southern end of the parkway is flat, while the hills of the northern portion require a bit more effort.
Parking is available at the southern entrance to the parkway in designated spaces adjacent to Elk Prairie, in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, the southernmost unit of Redwood National & State Parks.
The monthly closures will likely continue after the 2017 summer as well. Stay tuned for more.
