The Eel River makes it's 100 mile long stretch through some of the most pristine redwood groves in the state. The mouth of the mighty river opens up 15 miles south of Eureka after weaving its path through both Mendocino and Humboldt counties. It is amazing to think that at the turn of the century, the Chinook salmon was over a half million strong in this river. Though the present numbers are only a fraction of their former glory, one can still enjoy salmon, some trout fishing and the largest steelhead run in California.
