About This Access Site
The Canyon Dam Boat Launch provides access to the scenic Lake Almanor in northern California's Plumas County. This facility, open year-round, offers a boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized watercraft.

The boat launch is located off Highway 89 near the town of Canyon Dam. Parking is available for vehicles and boat trailers. The launch area is relatively basic, with minimal amenities provided. Paddlers and boaters should come prepared with their own gear and be ready to pack out any trash.

Lake Almanor is a large mountain reservoir known for its clear waters and beautiful shoreline views. The lake is popular for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, swimming, and non-motorized boating. Nearby campgrounds like Greenville and Soldier Meadows provide additional access points and camping options. Visitors should always check current conditions and regulations before heading out, as temporary closures or other changes may occur.
