The Farms and Forests Heritage Corridor forms a transect across Northern California’s ecological and agricultural regions.

Visitors traveling along this route can visit historic farms and other sites, explore diverse natural landscapes and learn about Northern California's culture and environment.

Take time to envelop yourself in the rich tapestry of this land and its people. There is much to discover, to savor and to learn in every season.

Length of Byway or Route: This drive can be done in a half day, but why not spend an entire weekend exploring?

Highway 20 from Fort Bragg east through Lake County. The corridor extends further east of the North Coast Geotourism region along Highway 20 through Colusa, Sutter, and Yuba counties, and then along Interstate 80 and south on Highway 89 to South Lake Tahoe.
