Acorns along with nuts, berries, roots, fish and game provided all the necessities of life for the Maidu who lived in this area for thousands of years until the coming of white men. A 1/2 mile loop trail with interpretive signs passes by significant features.The petroglyphs have been worn down through the years so most are not easy to see but many acorn grinding holes are visible. The small museum does a good job of explaining the culture of the Maidu and related tribes.
The museum is all accessible. The trail is hard packed dirt and sand and fairly easy to push along. Some of the spurs leading to the petroglyphs are uneven and hilly. Most wheelchair users will need to have some help.
Parking is limited to a short span along the street. The handicapped space is long enough for most RVs. Museum
