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

check mapsWILDFIRE NOTE: Two thirds of the Plumas National Forest has burnt in 2020-2021 with huge and destructive wildland fires. Some areas are closed, due to fire damage. Expect debris in roadways, detours, bleak scenery and dead trees falling.

The 2020 #BearFire #NorthComplex and the 2021 #DixieFire destroyed historic buildings, fire lookouts, old cabins, residential houses, small towns and rural communities; plus old growth forests and unimaginable numbers of wildlife. Many roads, trails and campgrounds are closed to the public; while reforestation may take many decades, if not a century.
