"SeaQuake brewing opened for business on July 4th 2016, in Crescent City, California. Inspired by our love of craft beer and the beautiful local scenery we set out to see what we could brew on our own. Starting in a barn during family barbecues on a half-barrel system, we worked through trying different recipes.
After a year of experimenting we decided to share our beer and expand. Together with our partners we worked to transform the old brewery building on Front street into a family style brewery. Today we are brewing on a fifteen barrel brewhouse that was manufactured in Canby, Oregon, by Global Stainless Systems. "

"The approximately 3,500 square foot Yurok Country Visitor Center is in downtown Klamath on the corner of Klamath Blvd. and Klamath Circle and is within walking distance from Redwood Hotel Casino. The location is also right in the center of Redwood National and State Parks, home to some of the last remaining old‐growth redwoods on the planet."
They offer Canoe tours at 2 or 4 hours which operate seasonally between mid-June and early September. You can book online at https://visityurokcountry.com/canoes/
"Explore the powerful Klamath River on a quiet adventure to a time when only dugout canoes transported goods and people along its banks. Unchanged for thousands of years, the Yurok dugout canoe, Oohl’-we’-yoch, honors the tallest trees on earth by giving them new life as our most prized creations. As these canoes glide naturally across the water’s surface, our expert guides will provide information and storytelling about the wildlife, geography, and history of the Klamath River.
Learn about the Yurok history and their way of life. Experience the ancient traditions of the Yurok people and feel at one with the river, ocean, and forest. Find out why the Yurok are notorious boat builders and why each canoe (ohl-we-yoch) is carved with a heart, lungs, and kidneys.

Hidden Beach is a small cove beach in Del Norte County, Northern California. It is tucked away below a tree-covered hillside not far from the town of Klamath. This is a wonderful beach with huge rocks in the surf and drift logs piled up and the back of the beach. It requires a hike to get down to so it’s rarely busy.
There are three hiking options. The shortest is a half-mile forested hike that starts across Highway 101 from the Trees of Mystery tourist attraction north parking lot. The second is a one-mile coastal hike on the Yurok Loop Trail starting at Lagoon Creek Beach (nice facilities at this trailhead). The last option is a long three mile trek from the Klamath River Overlook on Requa Road near Klamath.
FREE PARKING, NO PETS ALLOWED

Just 20 minutes away from our location, a level trail of about one mile follows Home Creek as it courses through the forest. This modest stream has over the eons carved a 50 to 80 foot deep canyon through the rich sedimentary soils. The canyon walls sprout an amazing variety of luxuriant ferns and other moisture-loving plants. On a sunny day, thousands of tiny drops of moisture make the canyon walls sparkle.
Due to the volume of visitors, California State Parks / National Park Service will require Day Use Permits to access to Gold Bluffs Beach and Fern Canyon from May 1st - September 30th. Permits will not be required from October 1st - April 30th. Apply for a Permit: https://www.redwoodparksconservancy.org/permits/fern-canyon-permits
Alternatively, Fern Canyon can be reached by a moderate nine-mile hike on the James Irvine Trail, beginning at the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park visitor center. If you choose to hike in no permit is required.

"Walk along Klamath Beach Road to see the Radar Station B-71 bunker that’s disguised to look like an old farmhouse and barn. Radar Station B-71 is one of 65 sites that were operated along the Pacific Ocean after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. These wartime radar defense bunkers dotted the Pacific Ocean under the guise of a family farmhouse. There were two machine-gun pits with anti-aircraft mounts. The Redwoods National Park restored this site in 1978 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as America’s last coastal radar station."
"The Klamath River Radar Station B-71 is a rare, surviving World War II early-warning radar station. This kind of radar station was the first step towards a more sophisticated and pioneering early-warning radar defense network.
Access to the trailhead is on the Coastal Drive which is a narrow, gravel road. It is not recommended for recreational vehicles, busses, or any vehicle towing a trailer.
Why build?
As a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor and in the Aleutian Islands, the necessity of guarding American coastlines became more urgent on the Pacific Coast than on the Atlantic. The threat was further demonstrated when a Japanese submarines shelled an oil refinery north of Santa Barbara, California, on February 23, 1942; Esteven Point in British Columbia, Canada, on June 20, 1942, and again at Fort Stevens, Washington, on July 21, 1942. On September 9, 1942, a Japanese submarine-launched aircraft dropped incendiary bombs on Oregon forests roughly 40 miles north of the Klamath River.
The radar station, in what is now Redwood National Park, was built in late 1942 and early 1943 as the northernmost California station in a network of 72 proposed stations, 65 of which were actually built, stretching from the Canadian border into Mexico.
About the Station
The Klamath station was designated by memorandum dated November 6, 1942 as Station B-71, named "Trinidad." It was also referred to as the "Klamath River" station. The complex included a Power Building, Operations Building, a privy and anti aircraft guns. The radar station was built immediately adjacent to, if not partly on, the historic old Trinidad-Crescent City wagon road.
Rather than using camouflage materials, the buildings of Radar Station B-71 were constructed to resemble farm buildings to disguise their true purpose. The station consisted of three buildings: a power building disguised as a farmhouse, an operations building disguised as a barn and a functional wood frame two-stall privy or outhouse.
The station was manned by members of the Army Air Corps quartered in barracks near the town of Klamath. It was commanded during part of 1943 by a 2nd Lieutenant Neff, later replaced by one or more 1st lieutenants in succession. One day's operation of the station required a crew of about 35 men to cover the 24 hours in shifts. It was guarded by military police with dogs."
