Feather River Canyon

I was just driving through on a road trip. Feather River Canyon is always beautiful. Unfortunately, on my way home, I came upon a horrific accident. Its my understanding there is a lot of accidents in this particular area. Perhaps they should fix the roads around there.

An awesome cruise. So much to see and do. Swimming spots everywhere. Beautiful canyon views.

What beautiful river & drive. The river wad not even that cold I loved it

My New Favorite Get Away

Always love traveling up 70 in this canyon. Beautiful scenery, and places to stop and stretch your legs!

Beautiful drive with many places to stop and enjoy the river!!

Construction going on, still see all the damage from the Paradise Fire about a year ago.

Beautiful drive. Lots of little rest areas, trails and view points along the highway. Would recommend.

Awesome! Great camping, gold panning, sight seeing.

Trip was amazing! I would recommend if you are not in a hurry to take old hwy 70 to reno!!!! So beautiful and green!!!

Feather river canyon is one of the most unique places I go. I travel all over the western United States. I always look forward to going through that canyon.

Its a beautiful drive

Nice small rest stop. Bathrooms are decent, but not fancy. A few picnic tables, and a covered area with several informative/interpretative signs/posters around it.Short walk down to the river. Nice cold mountain runoff (probably warmer in the late summer/fall).

Fun place

THIS PLACE NEVER GETS OLD. A NICE PLACE FOR A MOTORCYCLE RIDE OR TO TAKE THE FAMILY. STOP AT THE REST AREA AND READ HOW THE HIGHWAY WAS BUILT USING THE MANUAL LABOR OF INMATES AND DYNAMITE. IVE BEEN THRU THIS CANYON TO SEE THE CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS OF THE FLOODING (SEE ATTACHED PIC) ALL THIS AMOUNT OF WATER WOULD HAVE DEMOLISHED THE TOWNS BELOW IF OROVILLE DAM HADNT STOPPED IT. THANK GOD FOR THE STATE WATER PROJECT

So beautiful this time of year. Actually any time of year. The fall colors will captivate your attention so be sure to pull off in a safe place and take it in that time of year, or have a pilot. Some current road construction but nothing thay held us up much. Still very worth the drive.

Pulga Bridge in Pulga California.One of the most photographed bridges in the world.

Its just beautiful

Its nice out there

What an awesome drive up Highway 70. Gods country for sure! So much to see, so vast!

What a beautiful Canyon and were getting ready for lots of cold weather and snow absolutely amazing up here at these times

Where I live, dont come and screw it up stay in the valley

Great road trip! Missed Oroville Dam and ended up almost to Reno. Stayed in quaint Portola. River Trains Bridges Tressels Tunnels! Awesome. Wanted to swim!

Beautiful canyon and river

One of the most scenic places in California

Went here on a motorcycle ride, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Safe and beautiful place to stop! It is just a short (but thorny) walk down to the water. The water was very cool when we were there in mid June. The water is swift but not unmanageable. There is an information station located at the left side of the parking lot. This was our second trip here, there are signs posted that the water can rise suddenly but it has been around the same level both times we were here.

Long but beautiful drive. Lots of history

Beautiful, relaxing scenic drive.

This canyon is so beautiful and rich in history, and im happy to see that theres people breathing new life into the historical places that had been dormant for so long. Side note: Im all for sharing the road, but if youre a bicyclist, please please please DONT RIDE THE CANYON. Often the road is narrow, turns can be tight, corners blind. Big trucks come up and down this highway all day long, often crossing into the oncoming lane to make turns. If im coming around a corner and theres a truck in my lane coming at me and my choices are hit the truck, or hit you on your bike... Im sorry buddy. We have a lot of great places to ride up here, beautiful valleys, epic mountain bike trails... the feather river canyon though, its just not safe.

Is it narrow canyon with a road River and rail line running through it. there are lots of small waterfalls and it is very beautiful but it can get kind of crowded.

Not much to see here. I did not see any shops or anything for a tourist. Sadly a lot of fire damage to trees. Long drive was ok but its just a canyon.

This was my first time taking the Highway 70 route to Chico. It may be slightly longer from Reno but the scenery makes the extra time with it. It rained most of the way and the 2 sections of road construction really didnt matter. The stunning greens and the river were all Beautiful. Its is truly worth it.

Beautiful river

With lots of picture-perfect California Love spots to stop along the way, everyone every now & then should make this beautiful drive, out-of-towners especially!

Gorgeous.

An astounding canyon drive. Quincy is always my destination, even though the route leads to many interesting places. The bridges, tunnels and trellises are worthy of pulling over, all thanks to Arthur Keddie.

World class views and fishing

This is a beautiful drive especially with the Fall colors in full glory. Good road surface and easy turns .

Awesome day trip with many small towns to visit along the way.

A beautiful scenic drive through Hwy 70 along the Feather River Canyon.Notice how the river flow upstream almost 2500 ft. high alongside the road through the winding Plumas Mountains.

Love it

Beautiful drive and scenery

Such a beautiful site

Its beautiful!

A beautiful drive anytime of the year!

Its beautiful, but a bit twisty. I love watch the amazing river but watch out the rapids are crazy dangerous!!!

Beauty beyond words

The most beautiful Scenic Drive in the world and all the wonderful little power houses that PG&E built make beautiful little Lakes

In good weather its a very beautiful drive, but at night in the rain and fog,it can be very nerve racking, hard to see the lines n the road, the new street signs are blinding, water coming down the hill adds pockets of water
