Welcome to Plumas County

Nestled between the snow capped mountain peaks of the Sierra, and with breathtaking valley views, authentic small town living awaits. Located within an easy drive from many urban locations, Reno and Truckee are only an hour away, while Sacramento is two and a half hours and the Bay Area is just a four hour drive. The distance is close enough for a weekend, and far enough to experience a whole new lifestyle. Bordered by the Plumas National Forest, Lakes Basin Recreation Area, the Scenic Feather River, and Tahoe National Forest, it's hard to find such unsurpassed and unpopulated natural beauty within reach. Find yourself in a community where neighbors wave as they pass one another, and children ride their bikes to explore.

Winter activities include snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, sledding, and the historic world Champion Longboard Ski Races, or a quick trip to the slopes in Tahoe. You may enjoy watching the snowfall, and sipping cocoa by your fire.

Summers bring golfing at any of the area's six golf courses, hiking, fishing, and mountain biking. Brilliant Sierra stars create a backdrop for family backyard campfires, s'mores, and memories. Float leisurely down the wild and scenic Feather River, looking for wildlife, or cast a fly in at dusk to try your luck at fishing. Though visitors have traditionally been brought to the area for these outdoor activities, the secret is out, and it has now become a popular destination for weddings, local breweries, and a wine tasting bar. Casual and fine dining await at the area's many restaurants.
