Leggett

The town of Leggett reflects the logging history of the region. The area is home to some of the largest trees in the world, which you can see at Standish-Hickey Recreation Area and at Smithe Redwoods State Natural Reserve with its 60-foot waterfall, picnic area, and fishing and swimming in the south fork of the Eel River. Leggett is where you can leave Highway 101 to intersect Highway 1 and follow the winding highway to the coast. Stop in at Drive-Thru Tree Park to drive through the Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree. Standing 315 tall and 21 feet wide, the 2,400-year-old drive-thru tree is a definite show stopper. Just a few miles north in Piercy, Confusion Hill in Piercy features a gravity-defying house, Redwood Shoe house, mountain train ride, and the world’s largest standing chainsaw sculpture.
