Kum Bay Xerel

You are invited to join us at Kum Bay Xerel, in the Wintu language means “Shady Oak Village”. This open space with a wide paved trail provides great access to the Sacramento River south of Redding Ca.
To get there take the Knighton Road Exit (#673) from I-5, turn west on Knighton Road and make an immediate left (south) on the frontage road of Riverland Drive. Continue for about ½ mile and you will see a gate, parking lot, and restroom to the right side of the road. We all will meet at the trailhead at the south end of the parking lot.
On the trail, the first ¾ of a mile is paved with excellent ADA access and benches to rest. At the end of the pavement, there is an additional mile of dirt trails on adjacent BLM land.
Expect wintering waterfowl on the water and many songbird species along the lush wooded riparian corridor, as well as raptors, including eagles, soaring overhead.

We are looking forward to seeing you there, weather permitting. Check our calendar page on our Shasta Birding Society website for updates.
