Belden Access provides a key entry point to the North Fork Feather River in the scenic Feather River Canyon along Highway 70, where the Pacific Crest Trail crosses and amenities including a cafe, grocery store, and small RV park are available.

The area features the historic Belden Bridge and serves as a popular spot for both paddling and fishing, with relatively easy access compared to other canyon sections.

Note that this section of river is heavily stocked near campgrounds and offers pocket water suitable for wading, though heavy overgrowth along shorelines and challenging terrain require preparation.
