Norwegian translation:Channel Islands National Park in California
Explanation:
Actually, I would call it the "Channel Islands National Park in California," as the proper name for it is the "Channel Islands National Park"

Unless of course you go for Per's suggestion, which depending upon what you are translating, might be more informative.

Thanks to all of you for useful suggestions! I actually ended up using the very first one, but see now that there are several, and perhaps better (?), options.

Explanation:
Hvis du MÅ ha et norsk-aktig navn kan dette brukes. Det blir litt som å kalle Ålesund for Eel Sound ... Bedre å følge Charles' råd.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charlesp: Actually this is a very nice suggestion. Almost nobody knows where the Channel Islands National Park is, and they are locally known as the Santa Barbara islands. So I think that Per's suggestion is a good one.
