After almost all recreational facilities were lost in the 2020 CZU Fire, State Parks completed a visioning process to reimagine the future of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. This vision process culminated with creation of the Reimagining Big Basin Vision Summary document in summer 2022. Now, a Facilities Management Plan has been completed and will set the stage for the reestablishment of facilities to support visitor experiences and protect sensitive resources. The Public Draft of the Facilities Management Plan is now available for review by clicking the links below. Public comments on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Draft SEIR) will be accepted through December 1, 2025 and may be submitted as follows:

While much of Big Basin Redwoods State Park continues to recover and remains closed to the public, California State Parks crews are working to reestablish safe access to trails and evocative nature experiences. Some trails are open now and limited facilities are available to support visitor experiences.
