California Hill State Forest
JoAnn Norris
Undeveloped, rugged forest with mossy creeks, Waywayanda Lake views and the mysterious man‑made “King’s Chamber” caves. Best in fall for foliage or after rain for dramatic waterfalls; sunrise/sunset lights the lake and forest edges. No marked trails—use Gordon Rd parking, carry GPS/topo, sturdy boots, and respect adjacent private property. Good for backcountry camping and quiet nature shots.
