Indian Springs Trail

The Indian Springs Trail starts at the Eby Stamp Mill rest area, across from Belden, approximately 25 miles west of Quincy on Hwy 70. The trail has sustained damage from the Dixie Fire. Although the trail is open, hikers should expect washouts and downed trees. 

The first 2.5 miles of the Indian Creek Trail climb steadily up the north side of the Feather River Canyon which brings you to a viewpoint overlooking the North Fork of the Feather River and the peaks of the Bucks Lake Wilderness.  After this point the trail becomes rough going and while it is accessible to hikers, it is not recommended for horses.  Call the Mt. Hough Ranger District at (530) 283-0555 for ongoing trail work and conditions.

Difficulty - Hard

Length is approximately 6 miles.

Approximate Hiking time - 5 to 6 hours to Indian Springs.  You can find great campsites along the way.
