Lakes Basin

Reviewed By toraincal - Brentwood, United States

We hiked to Bear Lake, Little Bear Lake, Cub Lake, and Long Lake. A nice loop to see them all. Not that long, a little strenuous if you are old like me, and are dealing with chemo treatments. But we loved it, and highly recommend the hike

2. Western Pacific Railroad Museum

Large, sapphire-blue lake offering excellent trout and salmon fishing opportunities.

Reviewed By Senergy1 - Hayden, United States

What a beautiful lake and surrounding area, at Lake Almanor. Fantastic camping spot right on the lake with a great bike path and lots of hiking, biking, swimming and water play. I could see this area as a great family reunion destination.

Plumas-Eureka State Park

Reviewed By 349leeh - Sacramento, United States

In an area known mostly for logging and lumber, the state park is a well preserved part of the mining done in the area. It's really interesting, but don't expect much to be open during the winter although you can explore the grounds.

6. The Brewing Lair

The Brewing Lair

Reviewed By ColoradoAMC

What a neat outdoor space for a brewery in the area. Very open, good beer, can bring your own food, games to play...all awesome. Reasonable prices. Tucked away if you didnt know it was there you might miss it, but locals tipped us off it. Go there...worth it after a day outdoors!
