Eureka-to-Scotia Trail Corridor Assessment (2016)

This report provides a preliminary evaluation of potential trail connections from the Eureka Waterfront Trail southward along the east side of Humboldt Bay into the Eel River Valley. The study was funded by the Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) to identify conceptual alignments for a network of rail-with-trail projects, alternative separated trails, and on-street bikeway facilities to serve the communities from Eureka to Scotia. The report offers a high-level overview of the corridor, defines logical study areas and segments, describes general existing conditions for each of the segments defined, and identifies the primary opportunities and challenges associated with the construction of individual segments along the corridor.
