Six Rivers National Forest lies east of Redwood State and National Parks in northwestern California, and stretches southward from the Oregon border for about 140 miles. It encompasses 957,590 National Forest acres and 133,410 acres of other ownership.

The noted author Peter B. Kyne suggested the name Six Rivers, which refers to the six major waterways which drain or pass through the Forest: the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen, and Eel Rivers.

The Forest incorporates:

• Extensive stands of conifers in rugged, mountainous settings
• Moderate amounts of grassy glades in the southern half.
• Elevation ranges from near sea level on the west to just under 7,000 feet along the eastern mountain crests.
• About 1,500 miles of permanent streams, supplying about 9% of California's total runoff.
