About

A PG&E managed Hawkins Landing has a boat ramp for small boats, there is a network of primitive roads and trails surrounding the reservoir. From here, forest routes and OHV trails can be taken toward Lake McCloud or down towards Shasta Lake. This is a wonderful campground to base your OHV adventures from. Pack out what you pack in.
