Humboldt County Reviews

I was born and raised in Humboldt County, and the things that I love about this area is that there are so many people that you meet who are open minded and caring. There is also a lot of healthy, and local food that is easily accessible in this county.
I think there are many things that need to change in Humboldt, one of which would be the drug problem and opioid problem that has began to grow.

Humboldt has unsurpassed beauty in its environment. Everywhere you look there are so many things to do if you are a lover of the great outdoors. I have lived all over California and this is my favorite place to enjoy the great out doors and get closer to nature.
The homes are mostly older Victorian homes which do add to the charm.The night life is not much but on the other hand, there are a variety of Out door festivals and other happening that more than make up for lack of night life

I currently go to Humboldt State University and what I find beautiful about the area is the redwoods and ocean. It's a whole lot of nature and outdoor activities.It usually rains up north of california but overall its a place to visit over the summer. The county local base so youll never find something so unique somewhere else.
