Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, one of
California's most exceptional and exclusive
state parks, is renowned for its remote and
secluded nature.
Preserved within the Park are an array of
geological wonders, including lava flows
broken by great faults and deep cracks, as
well as lava tubes and craters. Prominent
along the shoreline are freshwater springs
flowing from the lava.
Accessible only by kayak, canoe, or
paddleboard, the park's smooth waters and
lack of public roads or motor vehicles
create an unparalleled paddling experience.
Nestled amidst recent lava flows and jagged
black basalt, the park offers breathtaking
vistas of nearby peaks like Mt. Shasta and
Mt. Lassen.
Paddlers can explore the park's winding,
interconnected waterways, which eventually
flow into Horr Pond, while also enjoying
opportunities for wildlife viewing,
photography, and boat-in camping.
Primitive camping areas can be found near Ja
She Creek, at Crystal Springs, and along the
north shore of Horr Pond. To register,
campers can use the self-pay envelopes
provided at each location. 
The park's primeval beauty and
restrictions on motorized boats make it a
supreme destination for those seeking a
peaceful, immersive paddling adventure..
