About Bucks Lake

Tucked into the Plumas National Forest about 17 miles southwest of Quincy, Bucks Lake is a peaceful mountain community centered around its scenic alpine waters. Daily life here revolves around the outdoors, with rustic cabins, cozy lakeside lodges, and marinas that stay active with boaters and anglers throughout the summer. Hikers have direct access to the surrounding Bucks Lake Wilderness and the Pacific Crest Trail, while winter brings a quiet, snow-covered escape.
