Sightseeing

This is my favorite place to hike! It is only a 5 minute drive from the house (or a 20 minute walk) and located behind Humboldt State University. It is beautiful!

Make sure to walk to the Arcata Plaza (15 minute walk). This is the center of town surrounded by cute local restaurants and shops. Did you know corporations are not allowed in the city of Arcata? That's why the town is so cute and has so much character!

If you are in Arcata on the weekend, don't miss out on the Farmer's Market! It is on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm on the Arcata Plaza. There is usually live music, dancing, and TONS of fresh local produce and vendors. It is definitely the place to be on Saturday...it's a party!

A favorite local spot. Lots of birds and other native wildlife like river otters. Check out the Interpretive Center if you get a chance, and learn about our world-renowned sustainable wastewater treatment plant.

If you have time, I recommend checking out Southern Humboldt by driving on the Avenue of the Giants off of Highway 101 south of Arcata. If you get hungry for lunch or dinner, stop in Miranda at the Avenue Cafe or the Redwood Palace.

Yummy local favorite! Try a slug bagel as a "veggie delight" or with cream cheese, lox, and local Larrupin sauce on top. Hard to beat! Their fresh huckleberry, ollieberry, or blackberry danishes are amazing. Gluten-free bagels too!

Super local vibe. Small funky taproom with character in Mckinleyville 10 minutes north of Arcata. Really yummy well-sourced food. Burgers are great! Fries are hand cut from the potato right in front of you to order. Say hello to Scott, the owner. He will most likely be cooking and serving you while you are there. He is really funny and witty. Tell him Kelly "Motorhead" sent you!
