Lake Almanor is located 165 miles north of Sacramento, nestled amongst the pines where the Cascade Mountains meet the Sierra Nevadas. At elevation 4500 feet it is the third largest manmade lake in California and best known for its prime hunting and fishing grounds.
There are two championship golf courses on the lake. Mount Lassen National Park, just 26 miles away, has hiking (to the top!), picnicking, and very scenic views. Play tennis in the peninsula or bike around the lake (many other trails for cycling to choose from). This cozy home is situated on the east shore. Enjoy sunsets on the deck or fish right off the dock. Bring your own boat, there's plenty of excellent fishing holes around. Pets are NOT allowed.
Shopping and antiquing can be found in all the quaint old fashioned towns around the area. Dine out in Chester, the peninsula, try Westwood's famous "Buffalo Chips Pizzeria" ("Cabin Fever" is our favorite). For a truly affordable vacation on the lake this is the place. |
