Eel River is a 196 mile river that runs through northwestern California. It is part of the third largest watershed entirely in the state, and runs along side of the Redwood Highway. Eel River was granted federal Wild and Scenic River status in 1981, forever preserving its free-flowing natural condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. We drove the Avenue of the Giants to take advantage of the preserved enjoyment of the river from a secret, locals spot.
