Bucks Lake
|
The centerpiece of recreation in Central Plumas County is Bucks Lake, which is 17 miles southwest of Quincy.
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, eight campgrounds and two marinas are featured at the lake.
Plenty of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding opportunities also exist in the adjacent forest and Bucks Lake Wilderness, with access to the Pacific Crest Trail.
Bucks Lake in winter is a premier destination for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers, with staging facilities and 100 miles of groomed trails.
During the winter, Bucks Lake Road is plowed only to Bucks Summit, three miles from the lake, but the area remains open as a winter retreat.
Two lodges-each with restaurants-and two bed and breakfast inns are open to accommodate visitors during any season. Winter snowcat shuttle service is offered.
