Freshwater Lagoon is the northernmost of four separate lagoons in Humboldt Lagoons State Park, but the ocean beach side of Freshwater Lagoon is situated within the boundary of Redwood National Park. The long wide beach here has dunes behind it and Redwood Highway 101 behind that.
Picnic and restroom facilities can be found nearby at Redwood Creek Picnic Area just to the north.
Dogs are allowed on the ocean beaches and at picnic areas and accessible by the road.
Dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
