Lake Almanor is known for its excellent paddling
opportunities and breathtaking views of the
lake. It is a large man-made lake located in
Plumas County, in northeastern California. The
lake has a maximum depth of about 90 feet. It is
formed by Canyon Dam on the North Fork of the
Feather River, as well as Benner and Last Chance
Creeks, Hamilton Branch, and various natural
springs.
The expansive size of Lake Almanor is rather
intimidating at first glance. However, you can
still enjoy paddling here by launching from one
of the numerous boat launch accesses and
paddling the lake sections at a time.
Dip your toes into the cool blue waters or take
a refreshing dip when the sun has warmed you up.
For a simple but special day, take a picnic and
enjoy a one-of-a-kind meal along the shore as
the sweet scent of pine wafts through the air in
the summertime.
Lake Almanor is a hub for a variety of
recreational activities, including camping,
picnicking, hiking, boating, and swimming.
With over 50 miles of shoreline to explore, Lake
Almanor is one of the largest lakes in Northern
California. You can spend hours paddling a
kayak, canoe, or paddleboard while taking in the
picturesque views of the lake. Spending time
outdoors with your friends and family creates
lifelong memories.
