| Frenchman Lake Reservoir is a popular getaway from the high desert Reno - Sparks area. Sailing, kayaking, water skiings & fishing are popular here. However, if the city lights and excitement of casinos, pampering at spas, music, dancing, comedy shows, concerts, and variety of great dining is your desire then it's all there. Just over an hour away in the worlds biggest little city Reno, Nevada. |  Summertime at Lower Sardine Lake |
Sardine Lake and Sand Pond are enjoyed by both locals and tourist alike. Relax with refreshments in the boathouse and watch the fisherman fly-fishing while the sun sets over the Sierra Buttes. Later, fine dining is served in a log cabin complete with historic photos and memorabilia. This is just one of the mountain rustic resorts and great dining experiences available in the Lakes Basin recreational area which is accessed via Gold Lake Highway. Also try Gray Eagle Lodge, Packer Lake Lodge, Gold Lake Resort, and Bassets Station. |

| The quiet serenity of the season's first snowfall is awesome to behold. Snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing are popular winter sports here. When snowfall is plentiful, the Johnson ski area provides great fun for family and friends. However, if the larger ski resorts are your choice, plan on Northstar, Incline, Slide Mt., Sugar Bowl, Tahoe Donner, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Kirkwood and more. Traveling time is a quick 1 to 1 1/2 hours away from the Truckee Tahoe areas. | Taking a drive through Plumas County during the Spring season offers a multitude of high mountain meadows, pastures and ranch lands in rich vibrant greens with an assortment of different wildflowers that bloom throughout the warmer seasons.
