About

Jackson Demonstration State Forest sits between Willits and Fort Bragg along Highway 20. Its 50,000 acres hold old-growth coast redwoods, Douglas-fir, grand fir, hemlock, bishop pine, tanoak, alder, madrone, and wax myrtle. Camping is seasonal and off-grid, with no water or cell service; mushroom foraging, bird watching, target shooting, horseback riding, and picnicking are popular.
