Winter Activities 

 

Ice skating on Lake Davis, Plumas County, Northern California

Wintertime in Plumas County is serene and beautiful, as snow covers the landscape and things relax. But the tranquil season also offers visitors the opportunity and excitement of winter recreation, be it on skis, snowmobile, sled, snowshoes, or simply on foot.

Snow is made for playing! Take your kids sledding down a snowy hillside or treat your dog to a romp through some freshly fallen snow. Or, if the weather's been cold, there are frozen ponds and creeks ideal for ice skating if you have your own skates. Check with local forest service offices for favorite spots and conditions.

If you're not into exercise, you can still experience winter's beauty on a horse-drawn sleigh ride.  Sled dog racing and longboard ski races are popular spectator sports for visitors in winter.

Each President's Day weekend in February, snowmobile poker runs are held in Chester-Lake Almanor and in Portola at Lake Davis.
