Tinkadi Grebè Forest Adventures

Tinkadi Grebè Forest covers over 300,000 acres of mountainous terrain in northern California, spanning portions of Siskiyou and Trinity Counties. The forest features a mix of coniferous trees such as Douglas fir, ponderosa pine, and incense cedar, along with riparian habitats supporting abundant wildlife including black bears, mule deer, and bald eagles. The forest’s geography varies from rugged peaks to gently rolling valleys and includes several small rivers and alpine lakes. Historically, the area has been home to indigenous peoples for thousands of years and later served as a resource for timber and mining in the 19th and 20th centuries. Management today emphasizes sustainable recreation and conservation. Visitors can explore more than 150 miles of maintained trails, camp under the stars at developed and primitive campgrounds, fish in crystal-clear streams, and mountain bike through diverse terrain. Notable landmarks include the rocky outcrops at Eagle Crest and the serene waters of Grebè Lake, which offers excellent fishing and paddling opportunities. Wildlife watchers often spot rare bird species, and photography enthusiasts enjoy the scenic vistas and seasonal wildflower blooms. The forest appeals to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts seeking both solitude and accessible adventure in a rich natural setting.
