Cache Creek Wilderness

Cache Creek Wilderness encompasses 27,245 acres of steep hills, open meadows, cliffs, and stream canyons in eastern Lake County, California.

In 2006, the United States Congress designated Cache Creek Wilderness through the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act, adding it to the National System.

Archaeological sites in the area contain remains of a Hill Patwin settlement that existed approximately 11,000 years ago near the Sacramento River tributary.

Visitors can access the wilderness through multiple entry points including Redbud Trailhead, Judge Davis Trailhead, Cowboy Camp, and High Bridge locations.

The area supports California's second-largest herd of tule elk and maintains a year-round population of bald eagles among diverse plant communities.
