Please avoid all private property

Three major landowners in the Hat Creek Valley have asked the flying
community not to land on their property. Many of the open green fields
that you see in the area belong to these landowners. So, to avoid the problems
continued landing in the valley will bring, we simply ask that you use the THREE
landing areas that are available and clearly marked on the
site map
(topo style map).
We are very fortunate at Hat Creek to have the full support and respect of
the local residents and landowners. We can maintain this respect and their
support by supporting and respecting them and their wishes. Thank you in
advance for your cooperation.
Flying at Hat Creek Rim is permitted through a Special Use
Permit issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture--Forest Service.
The site is patrolled by Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers.
Conducting yourself in a manor within the law is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Citations have and will be issued to anyone who fails to recognize and comply
with the law. Special thanks to the 99.99 percent of pilots who visit Hat
Creek and understand this. To those who disregard the law, like the pilot
who was cited for an illegal campfire during extreme fire danger, you
deserved the citation!!
