Hayfork is a small town located in a mountain valley in northern California. Hayfork airport is located right in the center of the town so beware of the neighbors after takeoff and before landing! The airport is quite small regarding parking and facilities, but with a surprisingly long runway, you can land a big range of planes here.
Hayfork also has the aptly named Mountain Valley raceway, a Small dirt race track where you can take out your favorite offroad vehicles for some laps and jumps. If that isn't enough offroad fun for you, you can follow the signs pointing you up to Hayfork Bally's lookout! for a roughly 30-minute uphill offroad drive up to the top of Hayfork Bally.
Speaking of the Hayfork bally look out! On the lookout, you will find a very short bush strip of only 295ft, combined with an elevation of 6260ft, and the location on the mountain's peak means that you need to get your best STOL skills and planes prepared for a successful landing.
You can also find another bush spot a few miles east of the Hayfork Bally lookout with an even more challenging runway. 250ft uphill with cliffs on all sides and no option for go-arounds. luckily there is also a little more forgiving option available on the top of the mountain ridge in case this one is a bit too much for you.
