Hooker Rd gives access to the fishing area along the river and provides a couple of miles option to ride parallel but in a nice distance from the busy Redwood Highway

In the town of Benbow on the middle reaches of the South Fork Eel River, the Benbow Dam was built in 1931 to generate electricity from hydropower. This created the 123-acre Benbow Lake. The dam was demolished again at the end of 2016. This means that the river is once again accessible to migratory fish along its entire route.
