Bitney Springs Road runs from the Rough and Ready Highway (Grass Valley's main Street becomes the Rough and Ready Highway as you head West) to the Pleasant Valley Road. The view of Lake Wildwood from above is the only one for the uninvited.

There is a Bitney Springs and it feeds a series of ponds and marshes that lie along the road. In the winter these ponds are teeming with waterfowl including Wood Ducks, Northern Pintails, Mallards, Canadian Geese, Scaups, Mergansers and Buffleheads. In addition some rarer birds that have been seen along the road include the Marsh Wren and a Barn Owl. A variety of Hawks and Turkey vultures cruise air currents above the ridges.
