Lake Almanor, a large man-made lake nestled
in Plumas County, California, is renowned
for its excellent paddling opportunities and
breathtaking vistas. Boasting a maximum
depth of around 90 feet, the lake is formed
by the Canyon Dam on the North Fork of the
Feather River, as well as Benner, Last
Chance, and Hamilton Branch creeks, along
with various natural springs.
While the expansive size of Lake Almanor may
seem intimidating at first, visitors can
easily enjoy its waters by launching from
one of the numerous boat access points and
exploring the lake's different sections.
Whether dipping your toes in the cool,
refreshing waters or taking a rejuvenating
swim on a warm day, the lake offers a truly
special experience. Picnicking along the
shore, with the sweet scent of pine wafting
through the air, is the perfect way to savor
a day at this Northern California gem.
In addition to its excellent paddling, Lake
Almanor is a hub for diverse recreational
activities, including camping, hiking,
boating, and swimming. With over 50 miles of
shoreline to expl ore,
the lake provides endless opportunities to
create lifelong memories with friends and
family, whether gliding across the water in
a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, or simply
taking in the picturesque views.
Lake Almanor Campground rests along the
picturesque western shore of Lake Almanor,
situated at an impressive elevation of 4,540
feet. The campground provides a variety of
accommodation options, including numerous
single-family campsites as well as a
designated group site. Campsites are
suitable for both tent and RV camping. This
tranquil area is blanketed in a scenic mixed
conifer forest, providing a serene natural
setting. While portions of the campground
are shaded by the towering trees, other
sections open up into grassy meadows that
come alive with vibrant wildflowers.
