The Great Redwood Trail Master Plan will serve as a road map for planning, constructing, and managing the future Great Redwood Trail. A robust community engagement plan will inform the master plan, capturing community desires, concerns, and ideas about development of the Great Redwood Trail. The process of developing the master plan is underway now and will conclude in 2024. Once complete, the master plan will serve as a guiding document to address issues including but not limited to trail user experience, trail design, wayfinding signage, operations and maintenance, habitat restoration, project priorities, funding, and management of the trail.
Want to get involved but don’t know how? Start by visiting https://greatredwoodtrailplan.org/ to learn more about the project, take an online survey, or contact the project team.

The Great Redwood Trail (GRT) is a 316-mile rail-trail project that will eventually connect California’s San Francisco and Humboldt Bays. Once completed, it will be the longest rail-trail in the United States and will travel through scenic landscapes including old-growth redwood forests, oak woodlands and vineyards, and the dramatic Eel River Canyon. The GRT will connect the many vibrant communities of Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Trinity, and Humboldt Counties, creating a transformational economic engine and boosting healthy recreation for all in the North Coast region. This master planning process focuses on the stretch of trail north of Cloverdale, through Mendocino, Trinity, and Humboldt Counties.
