Life in Tehama County

The northern Sacramento Valley, Tehama County lies approximately midway between Sacramento and the Oregon border. Starting in the snowy Sierras to the east (the highest point is 8,200 ft), the County unfolds onto rolling foothills, excellent range land, and spectacular, flat-topped buttes, and then sweeps down onto the fertile floor of the Sacramento River Valley (elevation aNestled in t Red Bluff is 341 ft). The County Seat, Red Bluff, is located on Interstate 5 and the Sacramento River approximately 135 road miles north of Sacramento. The river valley cuts a rich, 20 mile wide swath through the Central portion of Tehama County, which provides endless varieties of outdoor recreations. The Sacramento River is one of the largest salmon spawning rivers in the world. The County has an area of approximately 3,000 square miles, with a current population of about 60,000, and the cities of Red Bluff, Corning, Tehama and the southern portion of Cottonwood.

This area is overwhelmingly “open space” with significant development being limited to the central region of the valley floor. The climate in Red Bluff is typical of that found in the Central Valley, with summers being very warm and dry, with mild, wet winters. The County’s economy is based on agriculture, including ranching, farming and timber production.
Tehama County is the central point of widespread recreation and the local recreation opportunities are outstanding with nearby camping, hunting, fishing, golfing, snow skiing, and boating resources as good or better than anywhere in California. Camping opportunities abound throughout the County ranging from fully developed campgrounds to secluded sites with few or no facilities. Many campgrounds are open year-round but those at higher elevation are only open after the snow melts. With more than 300 miles of trails, hiking within Tehama County can be a day-trip adventure or a week—long back country experience. Trails vary in length and difficulty, winding through coniferous forests, alpine tundra and along waterways. In addition to tennis, racquetball, bowling, archery, and access to athletic clubs and athletic fields, Tehama County offers many other recreation opportunities, such as barbeque picnics and bus tours, to both residents & visitors alike. I invite you to visit our quaint and friendly small town atmosphere and experience a great place to live.
