High Lakes - Bear Lake Trail

The High Lakes Bear Lake Trail area of northern California is in Plumas County. While the High Lakes are entirely in Plumas County, the most commonly used access routes begin in the north part of Butte County. On the north it is bounded by three small lakes just north of Soda Ridge, the north wall of Chips Creek, on the west by the West Branch of the North Fork of the Feather River, on the south by a line roughly between North Valley and the Philbrook Dam and on the east by the mountains that form the west wall of the canyon of the North Fork of the Feather River. The area is named for the over two dozen small lakes found within what is sometimes called the High Lakes Plateau. Mostly Lassen National Forest land, the average elevation is 5500 feet with the highest point the summit of Spring Valley Mountain at 6862 feet. The Philbrook Reservoir is within this area, but not included as one of the High Lakes. However, the roads and trails into Philbrook Valley have been and still are major access routes.
The High Lakes are traversed by numerous foot and horseback trails as well as roads, mostly dirt, some passable by passenger automobiles and others only by four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and trail bikes. Historically, these trails and the roads go back to before the Gold Rush Day. Some may have been blazed by Native Americans, probably triblets of the Maidu people. However, there is limited evidence of this.
