Learn more about Arcata

Redwoods tower over the Arcata Community Forest, where trails wind through fern-filled glades that feel like stepping into another era. The lively Plaza buzzes with students from Cal Poly Humboldt, browsing quirky shops and debating at cafés where the coffee comes with a side of progressive politics. Saturday's farmers' market transforms the square into a celebration of local produce and handcrafts. Venture to the innovative Arcata Marsh, where walking paths cross restored wetlands that double as a wastewater treatment system – ingenious and beautiful. Mad River Beach offers windswept solitude, while the Arcata Theatre Lounge screens cult classics in a vintage setting. The town moves at bicycle pace, with more bikes than cars on many streets.
