Knights Ferry, California

Rustic Knights Ferry, California was originally founded in 1848. Founded by Dr. William Knight, and originally founded as a ferry-ing stop for those seeking gold, the town of Knights Ferry transitioned from gold rush town, to industrial area (you can still see the flour mill) to a haven for those seeking outdoor recreation.

Now, the town of Knights Ferry is perhaps best known for the Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi. Knights Ferry also, however, is home to wonderful hiking trails, is the starting point to one of the most popular rafting runs in Northern California, and is home to a number of small businesses that give visitors a nostalgic glimpse into the past!
