Right beyond the fairgrounds is the entrance to Big Lake and Ahjuwami Lava Springs 3 miles down this dirt road I love the quail on the post if you look closely at the picture

Sun preparing to set in this remote state park just east of McArthur by 3.5 miles.  To reach the park go east on Main Street after 1/2 mile veer right and cross over the McArthur Diversion Canal.  Follow the unmarked dirt road another 3 miles to Rat Farm boat launch and voila you're there!
To actually access the park (which is boat in only) you need a kayak or shallow boat to paddle across Big Lake
Catching the sunset from this boat in only campground.  This is the put in.

Beautiful warm home
We enjoyed our stay at the Albaugh family guest house. The views were amazing. There is a great view of Mt Shasta and Mt Lassen. We enjoyed watching the cows move around in the pasture. A convenient location. We would stay again

Home is very clean and comfortable. Nice bbq on the front porch. Had already booked the home a few weeks later for a second trip to Fall River. After staying there a few nights I’m very happy with my decision to pre-book again.
