Sun preparing to set in this remote state park just east of McArthur by 3.5 miles.  To reach the park go east on Main Street after 1/2 mile veer right and cross over the McArthur Diversion Canal.  Follow the unmarked dirt road another 3 miles to Rat Farm boat launch and voila you're there!
To actually access the park (which is boat in only) you need a kayak or shallow boat to paddle across Big Lake
Catching the sunset from this boat in only campground.  This is the put in.

Staff was friendly, room was decent/clean but some towels are stained even after them being washed. Quiet area. They have washing machines available to do laundry. Takes quarters to operate. Close to safeway and grocery outlet for any food needs. Very close to burney falls about 10min drive.
