| Our North Valley is the central point
of wide spread recreational areas which provide hiking,
camping, scenic tours, hunting and fishing. Game birds
abound in nearby foothills and deer hunters find excellent
fall sport in the timbered mountains. Down the center
of the Valley is the Sacramento River and its tributaries
furnish hundreds of miles of the trout, steelhead and
salmon fishing. All are easily accessible via scenic
drives along state Historic Route 99, State Highway
36 and Interstate 5. |
| Lassen Volcanic National Park rest
in the mountains to the east of the valley. Established
as a national park on August 9, 1916, it encompasses
160 square miles of spectacular volcanic exhibits and
impressive Lassen Peak, named for Peter Lassen. This
peak stands at the southern end of the Cascade Range
mountains and--until the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens--was
the only recently active volcano in the continental
United States. Its latest eruptions occurred between
1914 and 1917. Many smaller volcanic peaks and fantastic
lava fields, fumaroles, hot springs, boiling lakes and
other interesting phenomena surround the original crater.

| To the west of Red Bluff, State Highway
36 leads over the Coast Range mountains to the Pacific
Ocean and the Redwood Highway along the Pacific Coast.

RECREATION
featuring TEHAMA COUNTY
|
|
| Boating From drag boat races
on Lake Red Bluff to sailing regattas on Black Butte
Reservoir [southwest of Corning] to fishing and jet
boat excursions on the Sacramento River, TEHAMA COUNTRY
has it all for boating enthusiasts. TEHAMA COUNTRY
maintains numerous public boat ramps along the Sacramento
River for the convenience of visitors and residents
alike. |
| Bird Watching
enthusiasts delight at the site of bald eagles, golden
eagles, and flocks of bandtailed pigeons. Dozens of
different species are accessible throughout Tehama
Country, with the best area along the trails of the
Lake Red Bluff Recreation Area--officially designated
as a Watchable Wildlife Area. |
| Camping
opportunities abound throughout TEHAMA COUNTRY ranging
from fully developed campgrounds to secluded sites
with few or no facilities. Forest campgrounds are
operated on a first-come, first-served basis, and
some require fees to offset maintenance costs. Many
campgrounds are open year-round, but those at higher
elevations are only open after the snow melts.
|
| Fishing
The section of the Sacramento River running through
TEHAMA COUNTRY is noted for its excellent steelhead
and salmon fishing due to superb natural conditions.
The area from Squaw Hill to Bloody Island is known
as the best along the entire river. Trout abound in
easily accessible streams and the Sacramento River
provides a year-round source of salmon, steelhead,
catfish, trout, carp, shad, and striped bass. |
| Golfing
Wilcox Oaks Golf Club is four miles north of Red Bluff
on I-5 with eighteen challenging holes, driving range,
swimming pool and tennis court. Wilcox is a private
club with reciprocal privileges. There is a pro on
duty. (530) 527-7087. Oak Creak Golf Course features

| Hiking
With more than 300 miles of trails (including 17 miles
of the Pacific Crest Trail), hiking within TEHAMA
COUNTRY can be a day-trip adventure or a week-long
back-country experience. Trails vary in length and
difficulty, winding through coniferous forest, alpine
tundra and along waterways. |
| Horseback Riding
TEHAMA COUNTRY's strong western influence and history
has left a network of excellent riding trails throughout
the lowlands and into the mountain ranges. Camping
along the trails within the forest areas is permitted,
but remember to obtain a permit before building a
campfire. (Note: It is illegal to cross private land
without first obtaining the owner's permission). |
| Hunting
Famous for its hunting, TEHAMA COUNTRY shelters deer,
bobcats, coyotes, pheasants, wild turkeys, chukkar,
quail, grouse, ducks and geese, wild pig and bear
in the primitive areas. Several million acres of forest
land offer the unattached hunter untold opportunities
for success. Big Game include bear and Columbian (black
tail) deer. The primitive area in the North Yolla
Bolly region is a favorite with the rugged hunter
who enjoys a pack trip. (Note: All fish and wildlife
regulations are enforced). |
| Mountain Biking
From meandering trails to demanding rides, mountain
bikers of all skill levels will enjoy the National
Forests' many single-track trails, logging roads and
larger thoroughfares. Bikes are prohibited within
actual Wilderness Areas; permission must be obtained
from the owner to ride on private property.
|
| Additional Recreational Opportunities
In addition to tennis, racquetball, bowling, archery,
access to athletic clubs and athletic fields, TEHAMA
COUNTRY offers cutting horse, team penning and working
