About Redway

Redway sits on a quiet terrace above the South Fork Eel River in southern Humboldt County, just off Highway 101. With around 1,200 residents, this small community offers a relaxed, wooded setting right on the doorstep of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It started in the 1920s as a planned resort development, and today that original layout gives the town a pleasant neighborhood feel surrounded by thick forests and coastal hillsides.

Redwaymural

For day-to-day living, Redway serves as a convenient and family-friendly spot in the Southern Humboldt area. The town has its own elementary school, local shops, and easy river access for cooling off during warm summer afternoons. Most additional services and regional healthcare are only a five-minute drive down the road in neighboring Garberville, making Redway a comfortable, quiet option for anyone looking to settle into the redwoods.
