Modoc National Forest

Its a great place to enjoy the outdoors. From camping and hiking to fishing and hunting. The scenic mountains and the crisp clean air make the Modoc National Forest a great place to get away. With abundant wildlife and lots of open space. There are many lakes, rivers, and streams for fishing, boating, or swimming. Many areas offer trails for hiking or you can go and find your own trails in most areas. Some of the historic attractions are Captain Jacks Stronghold where the Modoc Indians held off the U.S. Calvery. There are also lava tubes for one to explore as well as medicine lake and glass mountain. Also the bridge in Lookout where the last hanging in California took place when the Hall family 6 in all the youngest only 16 were hanged for alleged cattle and horse rustling by vigilantes.

It really upsets me that every time I go to town, I have to drive thru Modoc National Forest. The beauty, the wildlife etc. is so wonderful to watch. I am fortunate to live around such beauty. Thank you God!!!
