Fall Creek flows through nearly the whole park

The official name is Fall Creek Unit of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. It is a park administered by Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. For history on the name, see Fall Creek.

In 2010, Debra Collins was hiking in Fall Creek Unit and fell into a ravine near the remote area of Lost Camp. She was there for six days before two hikers discovered her. She did survive. When hiking in Fall Creek Unit be sure to let someone know where you will be going. A note on your car at the least. Bring along food, water, and warm clothes. A whistle is useful for signaling if hiking in unfamiliar areas.
