Day 1

This is Lake Almanor near Bailey Creek.
Almanor is located in Plumas County about 70 miles from Red Bluff and 120 miles from Reno, it's accessed by Hwy. 36 on the north side, and Hwy. 89 on the south.

Built in 1914, where the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas come together, Almanor is one of the largest man-made lakes in California. In the shadow of Mt. Lassen, surrounded by mountains covered in pine and fir trees, Almanor is also a beautiful lake with an abundance of recreational oppurtunity.

The U.S. Forest Service, and the many resorts and commercial businesses at the lake, provide a great number of services for fishermen and other visitors as well.
