Patrick's Point
State Park
Campground

California

While at the campground, visit the Yurok Indian Sumêg Village consisting of traditional style family houses, a sweat house, changing houses, a redwood canoe, and a dance house. The village is used by the local Yuroks for education of their youth and to share their culture with the public. Adjacent to Sumêg Village is a garden established as a Native American plant garden which has plants that were used by the local Yuroks.

If you’re up for a hike, there are six miles of trails throughout the park with spectacular vistas. According the the park’s web site, “hiking the Rim Trail you may see a harbor seal, sea lion and if you are lucky, a gray whale. Octopus Tree Trail loops through a grove of old-growth Sitka spruce. Two all-access trails to coast overlooks are also available.

A couple of short, steep trails make it possible to reach the tops of Ceremonial Rock and Lookout Rock, old sea stacks that were left high and dry when the ocean receded. In some parts of the park, plant life is so luxuriant that hikers moving along the trail are sheltered and isolated by walls of vegetation.”

Be sure to see the video on the park at the Patrick’s Point State Park web site. There is a good segment on the Sumêg Village and the Yuroks.

The website sponsored by the California state park system is an excellent source for more information on Patrick's Point State Park campground.
