Considered the most versatile river in Northern California, it offers year-round river recreation. Floating downstream on inner tubes is particularly popular in the summer months near the town of Willow Creek. Several campgrounds and river access sites are adjacent to the river for easy access. Outfitters and guides provide a wide array of river experiences for all levels and interests. Salmon, steelhead and trout fishing is also very popular on this river.
Services are available in nearby Trinity County and Humboldt County.
