The attraction is the ability to see the enormous redwoods in a less popular area and the opportunity to take a dip in the Smith River. The Stout Grove was named for lumberman Frank D. Stout, founder of Knapp, Stout & Company—one of the largest lumber companies in the world in the 1870s and 1880s. Upon his death in 1927, his wife, Clara, donated the 44-acre grove to Save the Redwoods League, which helped establish the Jedidiah Smith Redwoods State Park in 1929.
There are a a few spurs off the loop (and probably some social trails), so take whichever looks interesting and fun. See if you and your loved ones can, by joining hands, encircle one of the redwoods. And be sure to make it to the Smith River to see who's best at skipping rocks. I need some serious practice! |
