Plumas County, California
Plumas is up in the northern Sierra, and it’s all about forests and mountains. Quincy is the biggest town, but that’s not saying much as the whole county is pretty small.
Highway 70 is the main road, winding through scenic canyons and views of the Feather River. If you’re into fishing, the streams here are top-notch.
Plumas is all about the outdoors. Hiking, fishing, and camping are just the beginning. The county’s lakes, like Lake Almanor, are perfect for boating and swimming in the summer. It’s the kind of place where you might see a bear downtown.
