Bucks Lake Wilderness Map

South of Mount Lassen, deep in the forests west of Quincy & Meadow Valley, lies a few small alpine lakes in and around the bigger Bucks Lake, a resort cabin community with dining, overnight lodging, cabin rentals, RV and tent campgrounds. Indian Rock is a popular DAY USE beach along the west shoreline.

Wilderness hiking trails climb to peaks and lakes at higher elevations.

Topo maps are perfect for a day hike reference or extended backpacking adventures. Pacific Crest Trail access. Bucks Lake has numerous developed campgrounds, smaller lakes and many miles of trails to explore.

2022 UPDATE: Most of this National Forest has been devastated by recent wildfires. Much of the forest in between Bucks Lake and Oroville is now totally toast. That’s a whopping 50 mile stretch, hence 318,935 acres. Expect campground closures, damaged trails and heavy logging activity. Charred forests also exist all the way around Indian Valley and Lake Almanor, and along Highway 70, east of Quincy, CA

Northern California’s Klamath region is a wild and rugged country, for city folks thinking about visiting, especially during the wet winters. Call ahead to local ranger stations to find out if the roads are indeed open and if 4×4 is required. Always check the weather forecast and do not expect cell phone coverage in this remote, steep, narrow, river canyon landscape. Rock slides and landslides are quite common, therefore you should be well prepared to spend the night in your vehicle. Pack warm clothes, blankets, flashlights, food and drinking water whenever you travel in this neck of the woods.

OLDER VERSION

Klamath Highway 96 – when gasoline was less than $2 per gallon!

Road Impassible?

Road conditions on Klamath Forest roads can change at a moment’s notice. In Northern California wet climate, sudden storms can cause land slides, deep mud, erosion and flash floods. Areas that were easily accessible in other seasons can become treacherous in winter. Forest roads may be closed and gated in winter months. A high-clearance vehicle is best when traveling within the Klamath National Forest, and in wetter months 4-wheel drive may be required on the back roads This region in particular has an increased risk of avalanche, even along paved Highway 96.
