climate. Outdoor enthusiasts are attracted to the many streams and lakes,
beautiful deep canyons, rich mountain valleys, meadows and lofty peaks.

Golden Trout

## Overview

Gold Lake 4x4 campground in northeast Plumas County, CA lies at 6,400 feet in
elevation within the Plumas National Forest. The mountains, forest and lake
setting provide a picturesque landscape for relaxation, adventure and
exploration.

A popular location with access to the backcountry, visitors should carefully
review what this facility provides. This campground is not a luxury
destination and may not meet your comfort level. This is a rustic campground
with no utilities, water, hookups, trash service, or restroom facilities.
Campers must pack out all their sanitation and trash. Families may decide one
of the other campgrounds nearby is better suited to meet their needs and
expectations.

Visitors staying at the 4x4 campground will be within the Lakes Basin
Recreation Area that requires camping within developed campsites. For those
seeking a more dispersed experience, campers must ensure they are well outside
the boundaries of the recreation area. The Lakes Basin & Sierra Buttes Map
illustrates where boundaries and forest roads are found. These maps are
available at the USGS Store online or from Plumas National Forest Offices.

## Recreation

Visitors often use this campground as a home base to enjoy water sports,
mountain biking, hiking, fishing, hunting and a host of other activities.

The OHV access road continues beyond the campground and onto the adjacent
Tahoe National Forest. From here, other roads lead north toward "A-Tree",
LaPorte and Plumas Eureka State Park, southwest towards Downieville and Sierra
City and south toward Packer Lake and Sardine Lakes. Make sure to take a
suitable vehicle, a map, and extra food and water.

## Facilities

A boulder strewn OHV road is the primary access to this campground.
Experienced drivers that can self-extricate or make emergency repairs may be
needed. Passenger or sport utility vehicles are not recommended.

Alternatively, boat campers may access the campground from the boat launch
facility on the east side of the lake. However, there are no boat facilities
at the 4x4 campground. Boaters should be aware that strong, gusty afternoon
winds are common and can hinder small watercraft.

Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and bear locker for food storage.
Our bears love your food, toothpaste and scented lip balm more than you do. If
you don't want to share your supplies, we recommend you use the bear locker.

The popularity of this facility combined with a broken, unserviceable restroom
have resulted in resource damage and unhealthy, unsafe conditions. The
dilapidated restrooms have been removed. In an effort to keep this campground
open, the Forest Service has enacted some temporary measures until a cost
effective, technological improvement of restroom facilities that can handle
extreme environmental conditions is found.

These measures include making the campground reservation only to allow more
administrative control. **All campers must now arrive with a plan that
addresses the safe removal of all solid human waste.** This is best
accomplished when using Waste Alleviating Gel Bags (WAG bags). These are
readily available online or at sporting goods outlets. We understand this is
not an ideal situation, but we are asking the public's help in improving
conditions at this campground.

## Natural Features

As the Lakes Basin Recreation Area name implies, the region has many crystal
clear alpine lakes to explore. Glacial carved granite peaks and ridges,
sunrises and sunsets reflected in the waters over Gold Lake, the whisper of
pines rustling in the wind or a glimpse of a shy doe will leave an indelible
memory and entice you to return again and again.

The region is rich in history that includes Native American use, gold
discovery, westward migration, forestry, railroads, grazing, and agriculture.
You may even find evidence of those that travelled here decades or centuries
before you.

## Nearby Attractions

Though in a remote location, Gold Lake 4X4 Campground is near several
attractions worth visiting.

Mills Peak Fire Lookout is manned during fire season and welcomes visitors.

Mills Peak Trail, a premier mountain bike trail, descends from the lookout
towards the community of Graeagle.

Pan for gold and explore the hard rock mining history or attend one of the
other interpretive activities at Plumas Eureka State Park.

Try not to miss the spectacular views of and from the Sierra Buttes and its
lookout.

All aboard! Take a ride on the rails while checking out the Railroad Museum in
Portola.

The Reid Cattle Company can offer cowboys and cowgirls trail rides at the
outlet of Gold Lake or from their Graeagle location.
