Eagle-Lake
is California's second largest natural lake and is located in the Lassen National Forest in the northern part of the state. With 27,000 acres of blue water, and at an altitude of 5,000 feet, Eagle Lake is famous for its fishing. The Eagle Lake Rainbow Trout is highly sought after for its exceptionally fast growth rate and trophy proportions. This pristine mountain lake is surrounded by pine forests and also offers swimming, boating, sailing, camping, hang-gliding and picnicking opportunities. The South Shore Trail is five miles long and perfect for hiking and biking, and the Bizz Johnson National Recreational Trail in nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park follows the beautiful Susan River Canyon along a forested railroad bed. There are naturalist activities in the park, a marina, several boat launches, a general store, laundry and shower facilities. Nearby Hat Creek and Lake Almanor offer even more outdoors activities, and Subway Cave near Eagle Lake provides a unique underground hiking experience. And, Eagle Lake is not only popular in summertime - it's a four season recreational area, with many groomed cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails in winter. Cities near Eagle Lake include Susanville, Redding and Red Bluff.
