Look for river otters under the Highway 20 bridge, near the gravel pit one mile west of the western entrance to Cache Creek. No potable water is available on-site. No first aid is available on-site. The nearest hospital is located in Lakeport. Restroom facilities are available at the Highway 20 and Highway 16 access points.
Cache Creek meanders through brush-covered hills.
The trailhead provides parking, maps and information for hiking and equestrian access. From Interstate 5 at Colusa, take State Highway 20 west for about 19 miles to its junction with State Highway 16. Travel south on Highway 16 for 10 miles. Turn right on County Road 40. Turn onto the access road that parallels the creek, and proceed downstream to the parking area.
