Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express from Fort Bragg

Skunk Train: Pudding Creek Express from Fort Bragg

Overview

This relaxed and scenic 7-mile roundtrip journey departs the Depot in downtown Fort Bragg year-round, traveling along the beautiful Pudding Creek Estuary and passing into primeval ancient redwoods to the tranquil setting of Glen Blair Junction.

Trains will stop at Glen Blair Junction for 15 minutes, allowing you to get off and stretch your legs and explore. Or, if you’d like to spend more time walking our trails amongst the redwoods, you can remain and catch the next train (roughly two hours later). Plenty of time to explore. Feel free to bring a packed lunch (no alcohol, please) to enjoy at one of our picnic tables.

These were some of the first tracks ever laid down by the California Western Railroad in 1885, and we've been carrying passengers on them ever since.

A fun and relaxing trip in a slow-moving train through redwoods and beautiful vegetation. It wasn’t very crowded when we went, so plenty of seating to choose from. Although there’s a snack bar on board, it would be nice to have a concession at the destination, where we spent 45 minutes.

You travel on the train for about 3 miles, stop for 45 mins to walk around, and come back. Views not spectacular at all. It is certainly not worth $50.

Nice short ride. And I do mean short. The sites on the way up were beautiful. We opted to hike back which was easy and enjoyable and gave us a longer excursion. But they locked the gates which prevented us from getting back in town. Luckily we were only stuck there for about 20 minutes because a maintenance crew on a train was coming back and opened them for us. We could have easily jumped over but we brought our dogs and couldn’t get them over the fence. The other plus was that for $10 per dog they were allowed to join us which is a huge plus in our book. Definitely recommend trying this if you come to Fort Bragg.
