    It's a fun place to bring the dog. She loves it and it is fully fenced. We can let her run around and it's fine.

    Fortuna Dog Park - September 11, 2025 - Big dog area.  Our small pup checked it out because no other dogs were there.

    September 11, 2025 - Fortuna, CA…read more I appreciated that they had a separate area for dogs under 25 pounds, but the park itself could have been much better. The surface was mostly gravel and patches of dead grass, which wasn't very inviting. What really bothered me, though, was the sheer number of uncollected dog waste piles. This is the first dog park I've been to where it was so obvious that many people weren't picking up after their dogs. You really had to watch every step, and I didn't feel comfortable letting my pup run around because it was nearly impossible to avoid the mess.

    Was in the area recently and was looking for a place so my old buddy could stretch his legs,…read moreexplore and get outta the car for a little while on a past roadtrip. Upon searching the area, I came across this cool, well developed, not being used on my visit park just for him. One of the nicer dog parks around. I have been to several in the surrounding area and this one is nicer than my communities dog specific park by a long shot. There are two marked separate sections; for large breeds and small (under 25 lbs) breeds. My old man is a little dog and he was quite content to roam the small dog side by himself on our visit. There are benches for humans, and concrete walkways, as well several trees of various sizes, a fire hydrant, grass (of sorts) areas, waste cans and poo bags all around. The large dog side is a much larger space and has an obstacle course on it as well. Signs and rules for use are posted at the front gates and parking area. 4 Stars - a cool dog park that was right on time for my little guys visit and stroll 00754

    Beautiful campsite! The location is perfect if you're looking for a secluded campground experience…read more Theres a few cute trails. The ocean being so nearby is a plus. The restrooms aren't bad, unless you're high maintenance and need a clean restroom. For me, it's camping, you get what you get! If you expect luxury get a hotel. The camp host is accommodating and very nice. I would recommend bringing your own camp fire wood or getting it from a near by store because the camp fire wood that is sold by the camp host is sometimes too moist to start a fire.

    This Recreation Area is owned and managed by the California State Parks system…read more Here you can rent kayaks, launch small water craft. The lagoon has little to no water current and has long areas of shallow water, making it perfect for small children and family fun without needing to be worried about losing a loved one in a traumatic mistake. Eek. The lagoon is gorgeous, just watch out for lightning storms in the winter. Aside from the lagoon and renting kayaks, many people travel to Agate Beach (just a quarter mile walk) to collect, you guessed it Agates. But because of rough surf and currents, it's not safe to take toddlers or people who are candidates for hip replacement surgery. If you include Patrick's Point to this Recreation area, there are 3 awesome camp grounds. You can choose camping under redwood trees, camping in meadows, on the beach, or overlooking the lagoon. Side note: Patrick's Point has day use sites that have unique fire pits and bbq's! Large stone sculptures with grills. The Big Lagoon/Patrick's Point Recreation Area is also 15 minutes away from Trinidad. This city has a great independent grocery store and is resplendent with eateries that have breathtaking views. The area is remote and for that reason not a lot of people hang out here. If it was in SF or LA there be a year's waiting list to get reservations. But I so Far (knock on wood), there's always empty sites.
