About The Sculptures & Getting There
The Cassel Junk Art Sculptures are located in the tiny town of Cassel near the front entrance of Packway Materials, a local construction company.
The two brothers who own the company are also the artists behind these sculptures and use scraps from their business to create them.
The address for the sculptures is:
22244 Cassel road, Cassel, CA
If you’re coming from the town of Burney, head Northeast up highway 299 and go straight through the stoplight. Then, turn right onto Cassel road for two-miles.
If you’re coming from Dunsmuir/McCloud/Burney Falls, head south on CA-89 to the four-way stop. Turn left at the light and then turn right onto Cassel road for two-miles.
You’ll pass a huge, empty grassy field on your right just before arriving. On arrival, you’ll see a medium sized dirt lot near the sculptures. That’s where you’ll park.
There is no fee to park or to explore the sculptures, but keep in mind that this is private property. So please be respectful of that.
Junk Art Sculptures
There’s no specific order to view the sculptures. Simply go from one to the next. They’re fairly spread out, but not to the point where you’ll have to walk extensively.
There are a couple dozen sculptures of varying shapes, sizes and themes. A few examples of what you’ll find are:
A 40-foot, 5-ton dinosaur
A rock man
An ant
Aliens and their UFO
A Dragonfly
A Miniture Dachshund
A Giant Grasshopper
And Much More
It won’t take long to explore. When we were here we spent about an hour looking around and taking pictures.
If you bring kids, I’d imagine you could spend a little more time than that here. Especially if they’re interested in them.
If you happen to be driving through or spending time at Burney Falls, the junk art sculptures are a worthy stop to get out and stretch your legs.
