    Has anybody been to Jackson State Forest near fort bragg? Looks like an interesting place. 50k acres is pretty big.
    Are there many good backpacking trails? Is dispersed camping allowed? If not, are there trail camps? Permit required? How crowded is it? I might do some hunting, but I don't want to scare off or offend others.
    There is hardly any info off a google search.

    I saw that site, but it seemed lacking on info. Doesn't say where you can overnight camp. Maybe I will try and call in.

    Not yet. I have been on a lot of trips lately, but not to Jackson. It's on my list of places to check out, between boggs mountain and cache creek. All 3 of those places are 1-2 hours away.

    I grew up near there. I haven't heard anything specific in the past few years, but it's the one piece of land I know on the Mendocino coast where some (many?) locals are actually afraid to hike because of the perceived risk of running in to marijuana grow patches and possibly armed/violent attendants.

    So…..has anyone actually backpacked here?

    We are looking for something close to the Bay Area, with no advance reservation needed (like Point Reyes).

    I completely forgot about this place. I might head up there and check it out some time in the future.

    So did anyone explore this area? I'd be interested in a long weekend. Sounds like it may be better to be in a group rather than solo if the growers are nearby. The trail map is pretty squiggly!
