Some of the best views of Lake Almanor with Lassen Peak in the background can be found on the south side of the lake.
Canyon Dam sits near the southwest edge of Lake Almanor, and is a gateway to the lake. The town is named for the dam that forms the lake, just north of the town. From the dam, the North Fork Feather River begins its descent to the Feather River Canyon and Lake Oroville. Canyon Dam is also the southern terminus of the 500mile Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, considered one of the top 20 scenic drives in the nation. This tiny town has a general store, a new hunting/fishing lodge, guide services, a post office, camping, three RV parks, cabin rentals, a kayak/paddleboard rental company, two gift shops and a seasonal hot dog and FOREST PARK hamburger stand, which RV SPACES claims to have the “best 1/3 mile from Lake Almanor (south shore) • 3-way hook-ups dogs and burgers in Plumas • 5 pull throughs County.” • All sites forested • Pets welcome Bear carving demonstra• Laundry & hot showers • Backs Plumas National Forest tions by “world famous” 29689 Hwy. 89, Canyon Dam, CA 95923 bear carver Dan Forschler (530) 284-7405 (in season) (775) 849-0557 are held twice a month May Fax (775) 849-2401 e-mail: forestpark@charter.net through October. website: www.campingfriend.com/forestparkrvspaces/
