Title: Sandy Bar Ranch
At the Ranch
Located in the Karuk Homelands, Sandy Bar Ranch is nestled
in a beautiful valley carved out by the Klamath River. Our six
riverside redwood cabins are fully
equipped with a kitchen/living room, bedroom, bathroom and outdoor
deck. The small rural town of Orleans encompasses a diverse community
of Native Americans, organic farmers, artisans,
Forest Service personnel and local merchants.
At the Ranch you'll find an organic garden,
a fruit tree nursery, and handmade crafts.
Ask for a tour or try your hand at gardening while you're here.
Shiatsu massage is also available.
We are a collective enterprise dedicated to stewardship of
the land and the practice of permaculture.
In a time of rapidly disappearing wilderness, Sandy Bar offers
an out-of-the-way retreat for exploring the few remaining wild
areas in California. We hope visitors will treasure this wilderness
as we do.
As Sandy Bar continues to grow, we continue to search for
new collective members. We also
offer a number of work exchange
positions each year.
- Hiking and Bicycling
- Orleans is the home of two ranger stations
which offer guidebooks and maps to the abundant hiking,
bicycling, and other outdoor recreational activities in the area.
The mountainous terrain of this region offers challenging and
scenic rides to bicyclists, and the easily accessible Marble Mountains
Wilderness offers great hiking through diverse landscapes.
- Swimming
- Our cabins are a stones throw from Sandy Bar's deep swimming
hole and sandy beach. You can also explore the many nearby creeks
and rivers offering countless secluded swimming spots.
- Rafting/Kayaking
- All levels of paddle or excursion rafting and kayaking
trips are available on the Klamath, Trinity and Salmon Rivers,
ranging from mild scenic tours to daredevil whitewater.
- Flora and Fauna
- From blue herons to bald eagles, river otter to deer, the
Klamath Basin offers a wide variety of wildlife for birdwatchers
and animal lovers alike. Sited as an area of global signifigance,
the Klamath Knot is a field day for
plant lovers. For the fungal fanatic, we offer seasonal workshops
in cultivation and identification.
- Fishing
- Orleans offers some of the finest steelhead fishing
in Northern California. Drift boat guides and fly fishing instruction
are available.
- Conference Space
- Sandy Bar Ranch offers secluded conference space
for groups of up to 25 with the option of preparing your own meals
or letting us cook for you with organically grown food from our
garden.
Throughout the year we offer seminars on topics such as: sustainable
agriculture, herbalism, performing arts, massage, crafts, yoga,
conservation and watershed management. Check out our calendar of events for more info.
