Stag Point

Heart-poinding descent to remote camping and fishing.

A heart-pounding descent to remote camping and fishing along the banks of the Feather River. One of few points where river access is allowed in this designated “Wild and Scenic” river valley. Not a great route for green-sticker vehicles since they are not allowed on the main paved roads.

We’ve chosen to include the first 13.5 miles of paved road as part of the trail to better describe how to get to the 4-wheel-drive portion. After Waypoint 05, there are no hard-core obstacles, but steep, narrow switchbacks, we think, push the rating of this trail a bit beyond moderate. Backing up to get around an oncoming vehicle can be very tricky.
