Big Lagoon County Park

Big Lagoon County Park is just north of Patrick's Point State Park in Trinidad and south of Orick. At mile marker 108.3 on Hwy 101 you take Big Lagoon County Park Road. From the south (Trinidad) this is a weird left turn from the fast lane of the highway. From the north (Orick) it is an easy right turn. Follow signs to the day-use area. There is a $2 day use fee at the park. It is a great spot to picnic, whale watch, and look for beach agates. Families enjoy swimming the relatively warm waters of Big Lagoon and playing in the sand.
