Access: Approximately eight miles east of Sierra City on Highway 49, turn into Chapman Creek Campground. The trailhead is located at the north end of the campground and is well marked. Parking is available next to the trailhead sign. Please do not park in any of the campsites.

Trail Description: The trail easily winds up along the contour of Chapman Creek under a heavily forested canopy. Many species of birds, wildflowers, and wildlife may be seen. Along the trail are several ideal sites for picnicking and fishing. Perhaps, on this trail, the most appealing activity of all is to just sit comfortably somewhere along the trailside and enjoy the tranquility of nature.
