#mypubliclandsroadtrip 2016: On the Way To, Lost Coast Headlands

            Ending #mypubliclandsroadtrip Week 7 – On The Way To – with the stunning Lost Coast Headlands in California.

On the way to Redwood National Park, travel Highway 101 to the Lost Coast Headlands. Along the coastal bluffs, just south of the Eel River, the Lost Coast Headlands lie approximately 260 miles north of San Francisco and 25 miles south of Eureka. Surrounded by private land, the trailhead provides visitors access to remote and rugged beaches.

The coastal bluffs consist mostly of grasslands with scattered patches of forest. The beach along the base of the bluffs is narrow and typically not passable except during very low tides. The exposed cliffs facing the ocean are rich in fossils and several locations along the bluffs are actively eroding into the ocean.

Part of the Lost Coast Headlands includes the reclaimed site of the Centerville Beach Naval Facility, a part of the Sound Surveillance System that monitored Soviet submarines during the Cold War. The BLM now manages the area for public access and open space preservation, resource enhancement and agricultural preservation. These premier coastal lands were acquired by grants from the California Coastal Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Board, with participation by The Conservation Fund.
