From Paradise, take the Skyway north towards Stirling City, past Magalia turning left on Powelton Road (about 5 miles north of Magalia). Follow Powelton Road and turn right just past the PG&E water ditch (1/2 mile from the Skyway) onto Ditch Grade Road which will take you down to the Forks of Butte Creek and a primitive camping area.
Awesome place! If you don't mind a little bit of a hike down the hill.
Beautiful drive. Road is semi maintained by people who live on it so be respectful and don't rut it up smashing around. Water is crystal clear and cold even in summer months but it's worth it. Pick up your FN garbage or the boogie man will slit your throat 😬👍.
Imagine a serene spot amongst the tall trees that surround you and whisper softly to you. Water swirls and gurgles peacefully. Imagine that you can visit there anytime you would like. Then, this is a spot to visit for you.
