And we were off!
Not Holland, not Denmark. A new bike bridge across an estuary of Arcata Bay.

Three miles from the starting point the trail exits to Route 101's bike lane, a corridor of evenly crushed red rock. A separate 4 mile dedicated bike trail is under construction from this point to Eureka. When that's completed you will be able to ride on dedicated waterfront bike trails from Humboldt State University in Arcata to the south end of Eureka.
Essential trail organizers Dennis Rael and Rees Hughes chart the trail's future at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center.
Doug Ingold and Carolyn Lehman near the south end of the trail. The railroad authority wouldn't grant the bike trail a "rails to trails" easement which would have made the project less costly. So now we have a beautiful new bike trail that runs next to an abandoned railroad.
Cyclists, Runners, Kids, Dog walkers...People in wheelchairs,,,
