The Lake Almanor Resorts boat ramp provides access to the expansive Lake Almanor in Plumas County, California. This ramp is suitable for a variety of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, and small to medium-sized motorized boats up to 20 feet in length.
The ramp features a single concrete launch lane and a small adjacent parking area that can accommodate around 9 vehicles with trailers. Boarding floats are not provided, but there is a carry-down walkway to assist with launching. This access point is part of a recreation residence area under special use authorization, so it may have some limitations on public use compared to a dedicated boat launch site.
Paddlers and boaters should be aware that Lake Almanor is a large, reservoir-style lake, with a surface area of over 28 square miles when full. The lake can experience windy conditions, and boaters should exercise caution, especially in an open kayak or canoe. Nearby campgrounds like Soldier Meadows and Legacy Campground provide lodging options for those looking to spend more time exploring the lake.
