ABOUT 
Nelson Point is located on the Middle Fork of the Feather River.

HISTORY:   This is an area rich in history. The Middle Fork of the Feather River was one of the first rivers to be put on the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act almost 40 years ago. La Porte Road, which is what you take to get to this location, was a road originally established by wagon trails in the time Plumas County was being settled. In the past this area was also home to gold mining. (Kyla Pascucci, Feather River College)
