Fern Canyon Trail is a hike perfect for nature lovers. This magnificent and majestic trail follows the path of the Smith River in northern California's Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Featuring towering redwood trees, emerald moss and wetlands, Fern Canyon Trail is a photogenic adventure. In summer months, lush ferns line the canyon walls, carving a lush green tunnel as they lead visitors along the trail. Hikers are drawn in by natural beauty of the park and have ample opportunities to do some wildlife watching or just enjoy the tranquility of nature.
