Beeks Place

California wrote the book on ghost towns, from Gold Rush tent cities to Owens Valley farm towns the aqueduct dried up.

Beek's Place is a location in North Eastern Orange County California, elevation 2,820 ft (860 m). Beek's Place is adjacent to the junction of Black Star Canyon and the Main Divide truck trail. It is approximately 8 miles (13 km) from the Black Star trail head, or about 6 miles (9.7 km) from the Skyline Drive trail head in Corona, California.

The on-the-ground condition of Beeks Place is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Beeks Place is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
