Additional Office Information

This office is located in Mad River, CA. Located approximately 50 road miles east of Fortuna and 90 road miles west of Red Bluff on Highway 36. This once booming timber driven and supported community offers a very dispersed population and limited amenities, its businesses and infrastructure do provide basic life necessities including: a local post office, a quaint fast food restaurant, a primary health care clinic with emergency, dental, and counseling services, and a store with full service grocery, hardware, plumbing, gardening, feed supplies, laundry facilities and gas pumps. 

 

A short scenic drive 10 miles south of Highway 36 toward Ruth Lake will land you at Journey’s End, a seasonal restaurant, bar, rental cabins, gas and grocery store, which offers all the necessities for that fishing or camping trip on the lake operating from May through October. Just across the street from Journey’s End is the Ruth Lake Marina offering full marine services and boat rentals. Further south is the Ruth Store, providing groceries, and fuel.
