Description

Put in at the BLM parking lot where state Highway 20 crosses the North Fork of Cache Creek. Easy access - Note that the North Fork will be very small compared to Cache Creek. There are also significant issues with sweepers and debris in the streambed on this two mile section down to the confluence. We punctured a raft tube here one time on an old trailer axel.
