Old Station
Old Station was once a stagecoach stop on the trail from Sacramento to Yreka in 1857. It was also a temporary military post while soldiers patrolled the stage road. Old Station also sits on an alternate route of the historic Nobles Emigrant Trail to California that was used by gold seekers around 1852. It now has mostly traveler services including Old Station Fill Up Station, JJ's Cafe, Laundry & Showers, and many campgrounds. It is the southern gateway to the Hat Creek Recreation Area. It is home to Subway Cave, the largest lava tube formed by the local lava eruption from vents near Old Station. There is a two-mile Spatter Cone trail that leads from a United States Forest Service trailhead just off Highway 89/44. Forest Service information is available at Old Station Visitor Center.
