Located just 20 minutes north of Susanville, Eagle Lake, California's second largest natural lake, is a popular fishing , camping, swimming, boating, kayaking and wildlife viewing destination that is fun for everyone.  
There are five miles of paved hiking and biking trails around the lake area, five peaceful and beautiful campgrounds and over one-hundred miles of shoreline on which to play or relax.  A day at Eagle Lake is a day well spent.
