East Branch North Fork Feather River

The East Branch North Fork Feather River is a left tributary of the North Fork Feather River in the northern Sierra Nevada, Plumas County, California, United States.

Primarily within the Plumas National Forest, its course extends from Paxton (north of Quincy) to Belden.

Indian Creek and Spanish Creek drain an extensive watershed along about 46 miles (74 km) of the Sierra Crest in eastern Plumas County, along its border with Lassen County.

From the confluence, the East Branch winds west for 18.1 miles (29.1 km)[1] through a steep and narrow canyon until its confluence with the North Fork next to Caribou Rd (40°00'49.9"N 121°13'32.4"W), about 60 miles (97 km) northeast of Oroville.

[9] Settlers drained the valley's wet meadows for cattle and hay production, and its stream channels are deeply incised (beavers were nearly eliminated).
