One mapping service still shows directions from "Mt Hermon Rd" to a left on Conference Drive, that road has been closed since the 1970's, you must continue on "Mt Hermon Rd" to the end, left on Graham Hill Rd  then make the left on to Conference Drive.

Directions to Kidder Creek

Google Map

Kidder Creek is located two hours northwest of Redding, about one hour south of the California-Oregon border, just off I-5, in a heavenly place called the Scott Valley. To drive to Kidder Creek, follow I-5 to Yreka and take the Hwy. 3 exit toward Fort Jones/Etna (south). If you are heading northbound on I-5, this is the first exit in Yreka. If you are southbound on I-5, this is the last exit in Yreka (3rd exit). On Hwy. 3 head southwest over Forest Mountain and then through Fort Jones. Go 6 more miles. Just past Greenview (don't blink or you'll miss the gas station), cross over the Kidder Creek Bridge (not a big one), and then immediately turn right on South Kidder Creek Road.
