The Plumas National Forest, situated in the northern most Sierra Nevada, and just south of the Cascade Range, is versatile in its land features, uncrowded, and enhanced by a pleasant climate. The serenity of the forest is truly remarkable and enduring, and will leave lasting impressions. Some of the most outstanding attractions include:
• Bucks Lakes Wilderness Area – the terrain includes gentle slopes, steep canyons and sheer cliffs, with a broad diverse landscape, which features great summer and winter activities.
• Feather River Scenic Byway – View railroads and powerhouses while winding gently through the granite gorge of the Feather River Canyon.
• Middle Fork of the Feather River– designated as a wild and scenic river, deep picturesque canyons provide good fishing, with rafting and canoeing permitted in some areas.
• Pacific Crest Trail – seventy-five miles of the trail cross the Plumas, passing through two major canyons (the Middle and North Forks of the Feather River).
