What to Do in Garberville

Learn More

Situated on a terrace adjacent to the South Fork Eel River, Garberville was founded in the late 19th century as a trading center for sheep ranchers. In the 1970s it gained the dubious reputation of being the unofficial world capital for the cultivation of sinsemilla, a highly potent form of marijuana. One contributing factor is the region's weather, more reliably sunny and largely free of the fog that lingers along the coast and in the redwood country to the north. Summer highs here frequently reach 90 and occasionally top 100 degrees.
