Lassen National Forest, Natural forest reserve in Northern California, US
Lassen National Forest extends across 1,700 square miles of diverse terrain, including dense coniferous forests, alpine meadows, lakes, and volcanic formations.
The forest, established in 1905, bears the name of Peter Lassen, a pioneer who guided emigrant parties through the area during the 1850s California Gold Rush.
Native American tribes, particularly the Maidu people, maintained deep connections to this land for generations, utilizing its natural resources for their traditional practices.
The forest network contains numerous marked trails, camping areas, and recreational facilities, with Lake Almanor offering opportunities for fishing and water activities.
Three designated wilderness areas within the forest preserve distinct ecosystems, including the Caribou, Ishi, and Thousand Lakes wilderness regions.
