K’účasčas (Fall Creek) Access

The river access site at K’účasčas (pronounced K’OO-chahs-chahs), just downstream of Fall Creek on river right, is managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife on land set to be transferred to Shasta Indian Nation. Located at the end of K’íka·c’é·ki Canyon, this site was once the start of Iron Gate Reservoir. K’účasčas was a Shasta Indian village and remains sacred. Please stay on developed areas and show respect. American Whitewater secured $3.5 million from California to build this site and two others, also used for boater access and fire management. The site is available for day use from dawn to dusk. Amenities include access road, boat launch, turnaround, staging area, parking, bike rack, accessible toilet, trash, picnic table, fire pit, and a multilingual kiosk.
