If you travel West on Wildcat Road just out of Paynes Creek you can't help but see these rock walls (or fences) that stretch for miles along the road. These walls or fences stand about 4 feet tall and 4 feet thick and were erected entirely of Lava Rock which spewed from Mount Lassen when it erupted in 1915. Over the years the ranchers not only cleared their land with these scattered lava rocks but the fences they erected using these rocks serve to separate their grazing fields.
