Information on the Lakes Basin (spans Tahoe NF and Plumas NF)

The Lakes Basin in the Northern Sierra Nevada mountains is a little-known gem containing over 20 lakes and the craggy Sierra Buttes. There are plenty of trails to visit the lakes or climb to mountain tops and enjoy the priceless views. The lakes are known for their fishing, but there are also horseback trips, mountain bike loops, and gold mining relics to see.
