The King Range National Conservation Area (NCA) is a stunning expanse of 68,000 acres along California's north coast, where majestic mountains rise dramatically from the surf. Designated as the nation's first NCA in 1970, this rugged landscape, often referred to as California's Lost Coast, offers a unique blend of wilderness and coastal beauty.

Visitors to the King Range NCA can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, hunting, surfing, and fishing, with world-class mountain biking trails and vast coastal wilderness as highlights. The area is also home to the King Range Wilderness, where a permit system ensures a serene experience free from large crowds, allowing for opportunities to connect with nature.
