Three miles South of Garberville is Benbow Lake State Recreation Area and the Historic Benbow Inn & Restaurant & Lounge, a golf course and KOA RV Park. Head eastbound from Garberville into the spectacular timberland and rolling cattle range land, most of which was homesteaded in the middle to late 1800’s. You just might find what’s been waiting to meet you around some curve in the road.
