Several recreation sites on the Plumas National Forest are opening this weekend, with additional sites opening in the coming weeks as the summer recreation season starts.
On Friday, May 20, numerous sites were opened in the Feather River Canyon, Lake Davis Recreation Area, Frenchman Lake, Antelope Lake Recreation Area, Bucks Lake Recreation Area, and isolated sites on the Beckwourth and Mount Hough Ranger District operated by Outdoors in Plumas as a concessionaire under permit with the Plumas National Forest.
Recreation sites in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area operated by Outdoors in Plumas are scheduled to open May 27.
Feather Falls, Little North Fork and Rogers Cow Campgrounds in the Feather River Canyon, also operated by Outdoors in Plumas, remain closed for the 2022 season due to wildfire damage.
