History

After being extensively logged from the 1880s to the middle of the twentieth century, Brooktrails Township was founded under a special provision in state law. It was marketed as a vacation mountain retreat for San Franciscans in the 1970s. It has approximately 6,600 parcels varying in size from 0.3 acres (0.12 ha) to 10 acres (4.0 ha). The smaller parcels are mostly surrounded by the township-owned Brooktrails Redwood Park, a 2,600-acre (1,100 ha) forest green belt composed of tan oak, Douglas fir and redwood. Brooktrails has over 30 hiking trails and two lakes, Lake Emily and Lake Ada Rose, that store and direct water to its water treatment plant. There is also a small market and a deli. The Brooktrails Township Community Services District, governed by a five-member elected board of directors, provides water, sewer, and recreational services to the residents.

In 2012, Mendocino County paid the back assessments on hundreds of abandoned Brooktrails lots; however, they stopped paying water, sewer and fire assessments for those lots.

The entire community of Brooktrails was evacuated in September 2020 due to the threat of the Oak Fire.
