Antelope Lake, nestled in the Plumas
National Forest of the Northern Sierra
Nevada mountains, lies 43 miles from Quincy.
This magnificent lake is surrounded by
stunning mountain ranges, forested woods,
and grassy meadows along the shoreline.
The serene waters and breathtaking scenery
make this one of the premier lakes in the
Sierra Nevada region for an unforgettable
day on the water. Whether you prefer the
tranquility of a kayak or canoe or the
thrill of a stand-up paddleboard, Antelope
Lake offers excellent opportunities for
paddling, fishing, hiking, and camping.
The lake is home to a diverse population of
large rainbow, brown, and eagle lake trout,
as well as channel catfish, smallmouth bass,
and largemouth bass. Anglers can often get
close to the fish while paddling, making for
a more rewarding fishing experience. And the
long drive to reach this remote location
somehow makes each catch even more
satisfying.
Situated within the Antelope Lake Recreation
Area, the Long Point Campground is one of
three campsites situated along the lake's
picturesque southwestern shore, offering
visitors stunning, panoramic vistas of the
clear waters from nearly every corner of the
campground.
For those seeking to escape the day-to-day
hectic pace, Antelope Lake
is the perfect spot. The lake's isolation
means you may very well have this pristine
oasis all to yourself or with
just a few others, allowing you to fully
disconnect and enjoy the serenity. Don't
miss the opportunity to experience the
beauty and adventure of Antelope Lake. If
you're a paddling enthusiast, Antelope Lake
is a must-see paddling and camping
destination.
