Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park

The Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park boat ramp on Horr Pond provides access for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats to explore this unique lava landscape. The boat ramp is located about 3 miles north of McArthur, California, down a graded dirt road.

The ramp itself is a simple dirt launch, suitable for hand-carried boats and small trailered craft. Beyond the ramp, the waters of Horr Pond offer a peaceful and scenic paddling destination. The pond is surrounded by the rugged lava flows of the Ahjumawi Lava Springs, with turquoise bays and tree-studded islands to discover. Paddlers can explore the pond and connect to the Ja She Creek for further adventures.

While there are no developed facilities at the boat ramp, the nearby Pit River Campground is available for overnight trips. Visitors should come prepared with necessary supplies, as drinking water and other services may not be readily available. The Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park offers a remote and captivating experience for those willing to venture down the dirt access road.
