The Humboldt Bay Trails Feasibility Study is a look at the "big picture" of non-motorized access to and around Humboldt Bay in northwestern California. There are currently limited possibilities for people to easily access Humboldt Bay. This Study recommends ways to help the public become more familiar with the bay, with the primary long-term goal of fostering bay stewardship.
With help from many agencies and organizations interested in the bay and improved access to it, NRS.
* Collected information about potential bay access projects and related issues;
* Selected and further researched priority projects; and
* Created a report that presents the overall recommendations and findings of the Study.
A more recent study of the Humboldt Bay Trail was completed by the Humboldt County Association of Governments in June of 2007. The NRS division of RCAA participated on the Planning Team for this effort in particular for the public outreach component. The Humboldt Bay Trail Feasibility Study is available for review on the HCAOG website.
