California

The Lassen National Forest lies at the heart of a fascinating part of California, a crossroads of people and nature. It's right here where the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, the Modoc Plateau, and the Great Basin meet.

Mostly, though, the forest favors the volcanic southern Cascades in appearance. The terrain includes sharply etched foothills, vertical old volcanic cores, and heart-stopping mountain scenery. Water features range from jovial mountain creeks to surprisingly lovely reservoirs, such as Lake Almanor, which is a creaking 80 years old.

Together with the Lassen Volcanic National Park and the Susanville District of the Bureau of Land Management, the area offers countless opportunities for relaxation, discovery, and adventure.
