Close to Arcata's famous marsh

Samoa Boulevard is close to Arcata Bay, and the Arcata Marsh borders the neighborhood. The 300-acre marsh has 5 miles of walking and biking trails, and the entire area doubles as a wastewater treatment facility. “I wouldn’t say there’s a smell,” says Andrew Parker, a Broker with Azalea Realty who grew up in the area. “I walk my dog through there. People love it.” Through a combination of human ingenuity and natural processes, the marsh turns the city’s wastewater into a habitat for a variety of animals. The Arcata Sports Complex is about a mile away and has several indoor and outdoor sports facilities. Samoa Boulevard is also close to the Arcata Ball Park, home to the Humboldt Crabs, a collegiate summer baseball team made up of different NCAA players from across the country.
