Dewitt Redwoods is one of the more obscure redwood parks. Almost no guidebook chapters or web pages describe it; even its official web page is just a blank placeholder. This is partly because, until 2001, Dewitt Redwoods was part of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. And although it has some fine trees, the park’s three small old-growth groves are overshadowed by much more spectacular groves just five minutes to the north (Humboldt Redwoods) and five minutes south (Richardson Grove). Finally, although a few really short walks are possible here, Dewitt Redwoods doesn’t have any official trails.
