About the Area Near Clio, CA, Middle Fork of the Feather River and Graeagle
Lakes Basin Trail Map – (courtesy of Plumas County)
The Lakes Basin Recreation Area in the southeastern part of the county near Clio’s RV Park has hundreds of great hiking trails, including a loop trail that leads past nine mountain lakes.
Hikers can climb to the top of the Sierra Buttes, Mt. Elwell or Eureka Peak, while others may prefer a less strenuous hike to Madora Lake, located within Plumas Eureka State Park.
The Lake Davis Recreation Area, north of Portola has a 5.1 mile hiking trail along the east shore of the lake that accesses the campgrounds, and another four miles was added last year.
Dogs are welcome (leash preferred) on all National Forest hiking trails. Within Plumas-Eureka State Park, dogs are only allowed on the Grass Lake trail, and dogs are not allowed on hiking trails in Lassen Volcanic National Park, although they are welcome in the parking lots, roads and road shoulders, campgrounds and picnic areas.
Plumas County's 1,000 miles of streams and more than 100 lakes of the Feather River watershed make for a wonderful, varied and famous fishery. Whether you're a fly fisherman or prefer to use lures and bait, you'll find plenty of places to reel them in. Please visit the link below for specific regulations and limits.
