Union Flat – Area Recreation & Activities

Outdoor recreation in the area includes fishing, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking and wildlife viewing. The historic town of Downieville is also nearby and has many shops, restaurants and additional lodging.

Campers may also notice stacks of boulders around the campground and area. These are tailings created by a mining technique known as “turning the river”.  During the summer months,Chinese mining companies would move the boulders from the riverbed and then stacked them on the river’s edge so they could get to the gold.
