I. Portuguese Creek River Access
Because of the unique geology of this area, early miners in the mid to late 1800's used a method called hydraulic mining. Large monitors (metal nozzles) were connected to hoses and pipes that gradually got smaller and smaller. This created great pressure that, when aimed at the hillside, washed tons of dirt, rock and gold into the miners sluice boxes where the gold was collected. The river access here has an information board and a gravel ramp to the water's edge. The Ft. Goff Campground is less than 1 mile downstream on Hwy 96. It has 5 walk-in campsites, a vault toilet, tables and fireplaces.
