After receiving public input on three Design Alternatives in 2024, the Project Summary highlights the proposed plan to rebuild the park based on that feedback and additional technical input.

Park Planning

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 is underway that will set the stage for the reestablishment of facilities to support visitor experiences and protect sensitive resources.

Visiting Big Basin

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.
