King Range National Conservation Area (Bureau of Land Management)

Description

Under the direction of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the King Range National Conservation Area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The 68,000 (approximately) acre conservation area is located about 200 miles north of San Francisco along the rugged northern California coast. The BLM provides:

• recreation opportunties that complement the rugged primitive character that makes the area distinctive, with nearly 100 miles of trails for hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, equestrian riding, and tidepool explorations.
• use of natural resources in a sustainable manner.
• protection and enhancement of wildlife habitat, emphasizing species dependent on old-growth forests.
• healthy watersheds for aquatic species.
