The Redwood National Park is located in northern California, just south of the Oregon State Line. Established in 1968, the protected area consists of 131,983 acres (federal, 71,715 acres; state, 60,268 acres). The park habitat includes a coastal shoreline and grassland prairie, which lacks the tall trees, as well as some classic old-growth forest located along Redwood Creek, Mill Creek, Prairie Creek, Klamath River and the South Fork of the Smith River. The park area is not continuous, but contains different units, which are under both state and federal control.
