About Lake Almanor West

Set along the quiet southwestern shore of Lake Almanor, Lake Almanor West offers a peaceful mountain retreat in Plumas County. The neighborhood sits beneath towering pines with beautiful views across the water, making it a natural fit for anyone seeking a slower pace of life. Though the basin was once known primarily for timber and ranching, it has grown into a relaxed residential haven where both full-time residents and seasonal homeowners enjoy easy access to the Sierra Nevada wilderness.

Everyday life here revolves around the outdoors. The community stretches along more than two miles of shoreline, giving residents access to private boat launches, swimming areas, tennis courts, and a well-kept nine-hole golf course. Between summer days out on the water and quiet winter mornings watching snow fall over the lake, Lake Almanor West provides a friendly, comfortable setting for those looking to settle down in the mountains.
