Confirmed from Rohner Park Hiking Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

ScenicDog-friendly

Local park for hiking and picnicking among redwood trees, plus wide paths and a museum.

“The redwoods are absolutely gorgeous and I love coming here to walk my dog.”

Hidden gem in Fortuna. Love having this trail a few minutes away from home🌲

★★★★★ — Karla , May 2021

The trails were so beutiful but when I went they said there were recent bear and mountain lion sightings. Not the most comforting thing to read as a lone traveller but I went anyways and I am so glad I did. The trails are well maintained.

★★★★★ — Aishwarya , Dec 2024

Sweet hiking trails very well maintained by the city of Fortuna. The city prunes the trees on this trail aggressively so they grow TALL - quite a sight to see! Come to these trails if you want to get away from all the bums in Eureka and Arcata.

★★★★★ — Stephan , Mar 2018

It's a great hiking park, with community spaces including benches, tables, small children's play structures, a museum, and a place for their yearly rodeo.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
