Located on the north shoreline of Lake Almanor, Westwood is high elevation meadows and pine forest. Lassen Volcanic Peak can be seen in the distance. Camping, fishing, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, boating, you name it. A great region for snowmobiling - when a good winter sets in.

    True mountain lumberjack town located near Lake Almanor and historic railway. Huge Paul Bunyan statue in the center of town. Small market for necessities, but no large grocery stores out here in the sticks. Very quiet residential community, just north of Lake Almanor, CA
