City of Rio Dell
Humboldt County, California
The City of Rio Dell, "The Warm Hearted City," is located on a bend of the Eel River below the ancient Scotia Bluffs and surrounded by redwood trees. The City has a population of approximately 3,250 and benefits from the best of Humboldt County climates with average summer temperatures 67° F in July, and an overall annual average temperature of 54°. Although snow is rare within the City limits, it is often visible on the hills above Rio Dell in winter.
Located along U.S. 101, Rio Dell is an excellent starting point for trips to local attractions such as the Humboldt Bay area, the Victorian Village of Ferndale, the historic Pacific Lumber mill town of Scotia, the Avenue of the Giants with miles of the most beautiful forest scenery in the world through majestic redwood groves.
The City of Rio Dell is in the midst of a renaissance marked by substantial new residential development in the historic downtown area, or "Town Center." In addition, the City is completing significant upgrades to the water utility, including a new Eel River water intake structure and filtration system and a city-wide rehabilitation of the water distribution infrastructure. Other important projects include the Wildwood Avenue Gateway (as shown in the above picture of the Rio Dell welcome sign), and the City's ongoing efforts to address its wastewater system deficiencies.
