Scott River Junction, 32.4 miles west of Interstate 5 on Highway 96 near Yreka. Its 28 deeded, patented acres at the junction of the Klamath and Scott Rivers also hold some of the greatest potential. There are plans underway for a major camp development including tent and RV campsites, restrooms, showers and a dump station. Currently there is fresh drinking water and a full-time caretaker on the property. Gold is plentiful in this area, which has easy access and is replenished annually by spring runoff from the Scotts Bar Mountains. Tributaries such as Barkhouse Creek, McKinney Creek, Horse Creek and Mill Creek have been producing gold since the mid-1800s.
