	Bird/Nature Watching Excerpted from Northern Plumas County Guide to Birding by Helen Green, Dan Airola The following sites are some of the best birding areas in the Lake Almanor area.

	Bizz Johnson Trail Location: The Bizz Johnson Trail is in northeastern California, along the Susan River in Lassen County. The main trail head is at the old Railroad Depot in the City of Susanville, about 90 miles north of Reno and about 90 miles east of Red Bluff, California. Description: Following the old Fernley and Lassen Branch Line of the Southern Pacific railroad, the trail winds 25.4 miles from Susanville to Mason Station. For the first 16 miles, the trail follows the Susan River. As it winds through the rugged Susan River Canyon, the trail crosses the river 12 times on bridges and trestles and passes through two tunnels. The landscape is a combination of semi-arid canyon and upland forests of pine and fir. The trail then follows existing roads an additional 4.5 miles into Westwood, where a railroad station type kiosk and a 25-foot carved redwood statue of Paul Bunyan mark the Westwood trailhead. The trail has four distinct seasons because of the high elevation location. The trail begins at 4200' on the east side of the Sierra and Cascade Ranges in Susanville, climbs 1300' to a high point of 5500' at Westwood Junction then drops 400' to its terminus in Westwood at elevation 5100'. Check current conditions before planning a trip on the trail by calling (530) 257-0456. The remarkable autumn colors and scenery along the Bizz Johnson Trail earned it one of eight feature spots on the Rails-To-Trails Conservancy's 1997 "Fall Foliage on the Web" rail-trails guide. Learn more about visiting during this colorful time of year and see larger photos including fall foliage along the trail. Autumn is also the time for the annual Rails to Trails Festival in Susanville and along the trail.

	Lassen Volcanic National Park Beneath Lassen Volcanic National Park's peaceful forests and gem-like lakes lies evidence of a turbulent and fiery past. The collision of continental plates here led to violent volcanic eruptions and the creation of twisted, hauntingly beautiful scenery. Last active in the 1910s, Lassen Peak is the park's centerpiece, towering over the surrounding dormant volcanoes here between the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges. All four types of volcanoes in the world are found within Lassen Volcanic National Park. Over 150 miles of trails and a scenic highway provide access to volcanic wonders including steam vents, mudpots, boiling pools, volcanic peaks, and painted dunes. Lassen Volcanic National Park is located in northeast California, about 50 miles east of Redding.
