A hidden canyon gem.
Some places aren’t found—they’re discovered. Tucked deep in the spectacular Feather River Canyon, Belden is a tiny mountain town with a big personality. Once a bustling railroad stop and gateway for hunters and anglers, today it’s a favorite for road trippers, Pacific Crest Trail hikers, festivalgoers, and anyone looking to wander off the beaten path.
Cross the iconic one-lane Belden Bridge, soak in the canyon views, explore nearby trails, or simply relax along the North Fork Feather River. Whether you’re stopping for a meal, spending the night, or just taking in the scenery, Belden invites you to slow down and discover one of Plumas County’s best-kept secrets.
Where to Wander
Belden may be small, but there’s plenty to discover. Stroll across the iconic one-lane Belden Bridge, cast a line in the Feather River, or stop by Caribou Crossroads to mail a postcard before exploring its hidden fishing spots. A short drive away, uncover Gold Rush history at Rich Bar, relax at Feather River Hot Springs in Twain, or simply Wander Your Way along the canyon roads—you never know what hidden gem you’ll find next. Just be sure to check seasonal hours before you visit, as many businesses operate on a limited schedule.
