Big Bar Area in California. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 1330 public campsites we map in California.

Whether on foot or bike, Trinity River Management Unit (TRMU) carries you into a world of Pacific madrone, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir and white oak, which line small streams and surround deep lakes penetrated by granite domes. There are a number of trail experiences on the TRMU.
