Coming from the west/Arcata and Highway 101: Head east on Hwy 299 from Highway 101. You will go through Willow Creek (and past our rental office there), keep going, you are halfway there. After another 45 minutes you’ll drive through the tiny rafting town of Big Flat and past the Strawhouse Cafe, keep going, you’re about 7 miles away now. After you pass the USFS Pigeon Point Campground/River Access and Bagdad River Access, and your phone starts working again, you know you are getting close. You’ll see our signs on the gate on the right, river side!
Coming from the east/Weaverville/Redding and Hwy 5: Head west on Hwy 299 through Weaverville and keep going over Oregon Mnt. You will go through the tiny town of Junction City, past the store and the last gas station. We’re another 5-10 minutes down the road on the left, at the end of a sharp corner. You'll see signs on the gate on the left, river side of the road. We are about 20 minutes from Weaverville, and about 1 hour 30 minutes from Redding (more if road construction). If you see the USFS Bagdad River Access or the Pigeon Point Campground/River Access, then you’ve gone a little bit too far.
