BUCKS LAKE
a four season gem Swimming, fishing, boating and camping are some of the favorite ways to spend a summer week at Bucks Lake. The centerpiece of recreation in Central Plumas County is
Bucks Lake, which is 17 miles southwest of Quincy, past the small community of Meadow Valley. This beautiful, semi-isolated destination offers year-round enjoyment at an elevation of 5,200 feet. With 17 miles of shoreline, sandy beaches and tall pines, Bucks Lake attracts fishermen, campers and water sports enthusiasts in the temperate months.
Trophy rainbow trout and salmon, waterskiing and jetskiing, swimming, boating, nine campgrounds and a marina are featured at the lake. Plenty of mountain biking opportunities also exist in the adjacent forest. Hiking trails abound in the Bucks Lake Wilderness, with access to the Pacific Crest Trail. Stunning red dogwood and golden aspen make the drive up to Bucks Lake a favorite during the fall foliage season.
