Summary
| Description |
Deep in the misty redwoods of northern California hides the ghost town of Falk. Once a boisterous mill town of four-hundred lumber workers and their families, Falk now haunts the Headwaters Forest Reserve. The 7,400 acre reserve is located 6 miles southeast of Eureka, CA. It was set aside to protect and preserve the ecological and wildlife values in the area, particularly the stands of old-growth redwood that provide habitat for the threatened marbled murrelet, and the stream systems that provide habitat for threatened coho salmon. Only remnants remain from the historic mill town of Falk, but park rangers lead interpretive hikes and story reenactments. A recent survey of the area recorded the presence of outlying lumber camps, and patterns of vegetation resulting from residential use and historic logging practices. Learn more about the Headwaters Forest Reserve and the ghost town of Falk. Check out the video “Falk: A Town Disappeared” youtu.be/UV388SFOxJs The film was produced by Ethan Cardoza, a student in the Humboldt State University Film Program. It provides an excellent overview of the town of Falk and Headwaters. More about Headwaters Forest Reserve: www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/headwaters.html |
