Custom Search     Pumpkinseed Lake     I work for the CDF station in Macdoel, CA. My crew and I have constructed a trail from Hwy 97, up to the infamous Pumpkinseed lake. We've worked on the trail construction for 3 seasons now and its pretty much perfected. The trailhead is located on a little turnoff west of hwy 97, about a mile and a half from the base of Butte Valley, up the Mt. Hebron hill. Look for an old billboard with a redwood tree pictured on it on the west side of the HWY about 8 miles south     of Macdoel. Go up the dirt road about 100 yrds, park on the right of the turnout and you should be able to see the start of the trail.... Its a 750 ft. ascent to the tiny pond... Great views along the way!
