The Lassen National Forest, at the heart of one of the most fascinating areas of California, called the Crossroads, covers a wild, mountainous area of volcanic origin. It is an area of great variety offering a wide array of recreational opportunities and adventures. 

Some of the most outstanding attractions include:

• Eagle Lake – the second largest natural lake in California, offering fishing, boating, water-skiing, sailing, hiking trails and camping.

• Hat Creek Area – in the shadows of Lassen Peak are campgrounds and picnic areas along ten miles of Hat Creek providing opportunities for exploring natural history and lava tubes.

• Lake Almanor – located in a scenic mountain setting near Chester, the lake is ideal for outdoor recreation and water sports.

• Subway Cave – an underground cave formed by flowing lava, the lava tube tour is 1/3 mile long. Bring a lantern or flashlight, sturdy shoes and warm jacket.
