Located on a natural harbor at the edge of Redwood National Park, Crescent City is the only incorporated city in Del Norte County. The beauty of the land and the nearby abundant wildlife provide the basis for a strong tourism sector of the local economy.  As a gateway to America’s Wild River Coast, activities such as fishing, hiking, bicycling, boating, kayaking, swimming, wildlife watching and beachcombing are important recreational activities along the City’s rugged coastline and in nearby forests and rivers.
