Whether you like to camp, fish, hike, view spectacular scenery, learn more about nature, or simply relax, visitors to the north state can enjoy 106,000 acres of volcanic terrain at Lassen Volcanic National Park. The National Park, northeast of Red Bluff, offers its visitors fishing, horseback riding and, in the winter months, cross-country skiing and guided snowshoe walks. Hikers and campers can experience the volcanic and thermal-spring attractions along with an uninhibited region of conifer forests and mountain meadows.
Fishing is good in the backcountry lakes since most are accessible only by trail or dirt road.
Rainbow, Loch Leven, and brook trout are all available. Black-tailed and mule deer, fox, marten, marmot, chicaree, and black bear are often seen. In addition to the beautiful lakes and wildlife, visitors can hike a number of trails that vary in length and difficulty. The Lassen Scenic Byway , a 185 mile National Forest Scenic Byway, provides outstanding vistas of Lassen Peak. This Byway was the first circular Byway in the Forest Service scenic driving program.
