Unconstructed from Route 1 to Ferndale. The traversable route from north of Rockport is Usal Road, Chemise Mountain Road, Kings Park Road, Wilder Ridge Road, and Mattole Road. This routing has not been adopted. Route 211 is known as the "Lost Coast Highway".
The constructed portion of this route begins in Ferndale. This small dairy town carefully preserves its Victorian architecture. Its Main Street is in the National Register of Historic Places. It even has a small replica of itself made out of LEGOs! For more information on tourist opportunities and things to do, visit the Victorian Village of Ferndale page.
The unconstructed portion of this route comes into the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, which lies along the so-called Lost Coast of California. Tent camping, picnicking, hiking, and fishing are prevalent in this beachside park. Just north of that is the King Range National Conservation Area, where you can take the time to explore the area's rugged and constantly changing shoreline. Here's what Carol Carpenter has to say about this park in her book California State Parks:
"Sinkyone Wilderness is on California's Lost Coast--an area of unstable earth and fast-rising mountains. The famed San Andreas fault lies just offshore of the Wilderness; it touches land a short distance to the north, at Shelter Cove. Highway engineers decided to avoid this rugged country, and it has remainde sparsely settled and unspoiled. Its magnificent vistas and varied terrain--dense forests, prairies, coastal bluffs, beaches-- reward the hardy explorer."
