If you value rural outdoor living at its best, northern Mendocino County is for you. The area around Branscomb, California abounds in wildlife such as elk, deer, bear, wild pigs, turkeys and other small game. The sawmill is bordered by the south fork of the Eel River (designated as a wild and scenic river), a major tributary of the Eel River system. The Eel River is one of the last untamed major rivers in the U.S. It offers salmon and steelhead fishing, as well as kayaking, canoeing and river rafting. The sawmill is 13 miles from the Pacific Ocean, which offers excellent sport diving for abalone, fishing from the shore and boats, and miles of isolated beaches. If you enjoy backpacking or hunting, the nearby Mendocino National Forest with the Yolla Bolly Wilderness Area (which is the head waters of the Eel River) offer virtually untouched wilderness away from the crowds. Nearby lakes such as Lake Mendocino and Clear Lake offer excellent fishing, camping, sailing, and water skiing.
