Patrick's Point lies south of Crescent City. In the 1800s the area (north to Wilson Creek and South to Little River) was home of the Yurok people. There were 56 villages varying in size from two to twenty four houses. While the original villages are gone, in 1990 an all Yurok crew built a replica village named Sumȇg which is located near the park headquarters.
There is a nice short easy little hike from the headquarters up through a native plant garden. Or you can take a longer drive through the park and end up at the village. Either way it is well worth a stop on your way down the coast.Patrick's Point State Park
