Lake County is California's family recreation and getaway destination. In Lake County you'll find friendly communities, attractions, outdoor recreation, activities, beautiful rural scenery, and the best air quality in the state (as determined by the California Air Resources Board).
Lake County is home to Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake within California and possibly the oldest lake in North America. Blue Lakes, Lake Pillsbury, and Indian Valley Reservoir are the county's other major bodies of water. The region is rich with historical and cultural resources, as well as recreational opportunities.
Within Lake County are two incorporated cities, the county seat of Lakeport and Clearlake, the largest city, and the communities of Blue Lakes, Clearlake Oaks, Clearlake Park, Cobb, Finley, Glenhaven, Hidden Valley Lake, Kelseyville, Loch Lomond, Lower Lake, Lucerne, Middletown, Nice, Spring Valley, Upper Lake, and Witter Springs.
Fun for all ages is found in annual community events, festivals and fairs. In addition, visitors may enjoy concerts, sporting events, car shows, casinos, farmers' markets, special presentations, and exhibits.
Adventurous visitors will enjoy Lake County's national forests and other public lands with trails for hiking, dirt biking, off-highway vehicle riding, rock and stone collecting, and bird watching, plus areas for hang gliding, fishing, and hunting. Local parks and two state parks offer trails for hiking. Exhibits and programs about the region's culture and history are maintained and presented by rangers and docents at Clear Lake State Park and at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.
History and genealogy buffs will find several "treasures" at the two county museums, the Lake County Museum in Lakeport and the Lower Lake Historical Schoolhouse Museum in Lower Lake. There are also numerous state and local historical landmarks identified throughout the county.
Art lovers will find the work of local artists displayed in many places including galleries, civic buildings, restaurants, banks, and other businesses. Arts and crafts exhibits are featured at many of the community events held through the year. There is also a number of antique shops throughout Lake County.
Area wineries with tasting rooms include Guenoc and Langtry Estate Vineyards and Winery, Ployez Winery, Steele Wines, and Wildhurst Vineyards. Winery events often feature wine tasting, art, and music.
Stargazers and astronomers will enjoy a trip to the Taylor Planetarium & Observatory in Kelseyville. Operated by the Lake County Office of Education, the observatory presents lecture and slide programs, and visitors may participate in telescope viewing of the stars and planets.
Outdoor recreation include the many watersports enjoyed at the county's lakes and streams, plus hiking, soaring, skydiving, and bicycling. Five golf courses, including one championship 18-hole course, are located in the county. A water park and fun center in the city of Clearlake offers water slides during the summer months, an arcade, Grand Prix race cars, and other attractions.
With over 100 miles of shoreline, Clear Lake is a popular spot for watersports enthusiasts. Visitors enjoy fishing, swimming, sailing, wind surfing, parasailing, waterskiing, boating, and riding jet skis. There are 11 free boat launch ramps around the lake that are open to the public. Individuals may rent boats and personal watercraft from many businesses around the lake.
Aboard the Clear Lake Queen, a three-story replica of a paddlewheel steamboat, visitors may enjoy leisurely sightseeing tours and dinner cruises on Clear Lake.
Anglers will enjoy testing their luck on Clear Lake, known as the "Bass Capital of the West." Largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and rainbow trout can be found in the county's lakes. Fishing boats can be rented, and many stores and facilities around the lake specialize in fishing equipment. Numerous fishing tournaments and derbies are held through the year.

Modoc County
Local Attractions
Modoc National Forest is one of California's best kept natural secrets. Eight hours from the San Francisco Bay Area and three hours from Reno, Nevada, its remoteness shields it from the big city weekend crowds and tourist traffic that have all but spoiled many of northern California's more accessible scenic areas.
In the shadow of the Warner Mountains — an offshoot of the southern Cascades — to its east, Modoc is nearly 2 million acres of pine forests and meadows, lakes, streams, rugged canyons, wetlands, lava beds and high desert plateaus.
The varied topography and the equally varied climate — with temperatures ranging from over 100 degrees in high summer to 35 below zero in winter — accounts for the diversity of animal life in the forest — around 300 different animal species, including a large population of wild horses, call it home. The Pacific Flyway for migratory waterfowl crosses the forest, as well, providing birders rare observational opportunities several weeks per year.
Hiking, fishing, paddling, camping and biking are among the many outdoor activities possible in Modoc National Forest. Just remember to take your time going home — the forests' endless vistas and penetrating solitude have a way of making readjustment difficult!
Blue Door Flat is a reservoir that was constructed in 1939 by the CCC, or also known as the "Tree Army" for their vast amount of conservation work completed in the post depression years. The unique dam has hand placed rocks that are still in place and working as it did in 1939. The reservoir provides habitat for waterfowl and shorebirds in the watered basin, while in spring the meadow provides a fantastic array of color spread throughout the wet meadow complex from the wildflower species.
Blue Door Flat
The Blue Door Flat area provides an interesting area to watch waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds, as well as the colorful wildflowers at the site. The area is in the transition zone between the Great Basin and the Modoc Plateau, adding to the diversity of species. The area is surrounded by dense groves of juniper, scattered patches of aspen and a variety of mountain brush species, that lies in the shadow of the high country of the South Warners Wilderness. The view to the east in the fall is dramatic, and one of the best around with the changing vegetation in the south Warners of broad open areas with patches of brilliant orange aspens, red brush, and mixed conifer forests.
Fandango Valley
In 1849, by far the most used route to California crossed the Nevada dessert to Surprise Valley and over Fandango Pass, on the route pioneered by Peter Lassen. Many pioneer document the experiences, thoughts and feelings as they tried to survive the fearsome Black Rock dessert in late summer, through rugged High Rock Canyon, viewed "the elephant" overlooking Surprise Valley and then made the spectacular steep climb up Fandango Pass. Because this region remains so much as it was 150 years ago, the present-day explorer can walk, bike and ride along the route and relive the emigrant trail experience. The Surprise Sheldon Regional Recreation Guide shows the entire Trail route and is available from the BLM office in Cedarville.
From U.S. Highway 395, six miles south of the Oregon State line, a good gravel road proceeds along the meadows of Fandango Valley and up to Fandango Pass high overlooking the Surprise Valley. The road, as it switchbacks down to the Valley, crosses the Applegate Lassen route of the California National Historic Trail a number of times. But there were no switchbacks for the wagons of the pioneers and the fact that the trail traces come straight up a mountain so steep it is almost unbelievable.
Cave Lake, Modoc National Forest
Modoc National Forest is a land of contrasts and unspoiled settings for a vacation getaway. Unique vistas of rugged mountains, lava caves, craters, pristine and serene lakes and streams await visitors to the Forest’s beautiful Medicine Lake Highlands. Modoc’s South Warner Wilderness offers backpackers and horseback riders 79 miles of trails, providing breathtaking scenery, solitude, cool nights and clear starry skies for campouts. The rich cultural history of this area makes Modoc an exciting destination for visitors interested in history and archaeology. For wildlife watchers, the Modoc National Forest is home to more than 300 species of wildlife. In addition, the forest is home to a herd of more than 300 wild horses. The Pacific Flyway for migratory waterfowl crosses directly over Modoc National Forest wetlands, making this area a bird watcher’s paradise. There are numerous reservoirs and small lakes with boat ramps providing splendid fishing opportunities.Casinos and Motels

Lava Beds National Monument Tulelake, (530) 667-2282, Centuries ago, a group of volcanoes erupted in the Klamath Basin, near the Oregon border.

Sonoma County
Local Attractions
As heralded by the road sign arching over one of its scenic highways, Sonoma County is truly a vacation wonderland. Offering a vintage blend of accommodations, attractions and activities some 35 miles north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Sonoma County is a rich, rewardingly diverse destination for travelers of all itinerary and interest.
Sonoma County's varied landscape encompasses the magic of Northern California. The Pacific Ocean breaks along the county's wild western edge. Gentle hills unfurl tempting vistas of terraced vineyards, sunlit fields of lavender and meadows of golden California poppies and bright yellow mustard. The interior features cool forests of ancient redwoods, the sparkling Russian River, rocky crags and quiet canyons.
Charming cities and towns with historic plazas, unique shops, bakeries and restaurants, protected forest preserves, general stores, farms, natural hot springs and enchanting gardens cover Sonoma County’s 1,600 square miles, a broad and eclectic panorama that is best viewed as distinct travel "appellations" or regions.
The same rich soil and soft Mediterranean climate that produce quality wine grapes also bear flavorful fresh produce. Visitors are welcome to sample and buy fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs at dozens of local farms and farm markets. Fresh fish markets offer straight-from-the-boat seafood such as salmon, local oysters and crab.
Sonoma County accommodations range from five-star spa and conference resorts to charming B&Bs nestled in valley vineyards. Majestic Victorian mansions, inns with European style spas, custom-designed conference lodges, hotels with Pacific Ocean vantages, comfortable, value-forward family properties and exotic lodgings (yurts and geodesic domes) -- every one an exceptional escape, complemented by innkeepers who practice their trade in the most artistic ways.
A gentle climate and varied topography have helped Sonoma County forge a reputation as a year-round haven for outdoor recreation. Bicycling along quiet, wildflower-lined country roads, canoeing and kayaking on forest-lined rivers, and exploring shell-strewn strands are a few locally favorite pastimes.

Tehama County
Local Attractions
Tehama County lays approximately midway between Sacramento and the Oregon border. The County Seat, Red Bluff, is located on Interstate 5 and the Sacramento River approximately 135 road miles north of Sacramento. The west and east boundaries of the county are the ridge lines of the Pacific Coast Range and the Cascade-Sierra Nevada Ranges respectively.
Tehama County has an area of approximately 3,000 square miles, and is overwhelmingly "open space" with significant development being limited to the central region of the Sacramento Valley floor. The climate in Red Bluff is typical of that found in the central valley, with summers being very warm and dry with mild, somewhat wet winters. The county's economy is based on agriculture, including ranching and timber and lumber production.
Local recreational opportunities are outstanding with nearby camping, fishing, hunting, snow skiing, water sports and boating, and golfing resources as good or better than anywhere in California.Casinos and Motels
