One of the greatest features of this city and also one of the many reasons it is such a great college town. There are always events taking place here, from Farmers' Market to the annual Arcata Oyster Festival. The plaza is also the starting point for the Kinetic Sculpture Race, the original triathalon of the art world.
Great biking trails, also, hiking trails, and the best playgrounds in town.
This world-famous sanctuary doubles as the town's sewage treatment plant. (It smells and looks better than it sounds). It has walking trails, an Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center and bird watching blinds. It is the home of Godwit Days.
