The Fern Canyon Trail takes you to the Falls Loop Trail. I'd take the more direct trail left at the fork, but make sure you complete the loop by taking the trail over the waterfall ledge. The return part of the loop trail is full of magical groves of old and new growth redwoods. The whole trek from parking lot is about 7 miles, but worth every step. If you hit the trail early enough you might get the waterfall for yourself for a bit.

We parked on the outskirts of the park and took the shorter hike (2 miles round trip) down “East Trail”. The trail will take you on a quiet walk through a lush forest and ends at the waterfall. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/177477/4b404777-d666-4d3d-993f-0199d3cc0506.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Russian Gulch State Park Activities [Mendocino travel guide](https://expedia.ca/Mendocino.dx177477) --- --- ### Popular places to visit ![Agate beach on the coast of California, USA](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6240475/dea8bc48-a98d-4f9b-aa82-b0d121965874.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Agate Beach 5/5(2 reviews) Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Agate Beach during your travels in Mendocino?
