Blue Lake<\/strong>
\nModoc National Forest<\/h2>\n

When you really wanna get away from it all, take a week off and head up to Modoc – the top northeast corner of\u00a0California, where the volcanic mountains line the Great Basin. \u00a0The population is minimal, cattle are abundant and the campers few. Even in mid summer, this ideal lake campground rarely fills up.<\/p>\n

Jess Valley Road<\/strong> leads east off US 395<\/a> @ Likely, CA – 16 miles back to this hidden gem.<\/p>\n

Headwaters to the Pit River.<\/p>\n

NFS Campground is shady, well managed, and spread out on the eastern slope w\/ numerous paved loops. Tent campers, cross country cyclists, truck campers w\/ canoes, SUV families, motorhomes with kayaks and kids.<\/p>\n

Blue Lake National Recreation Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"hiker\"<\/strong>Right next to camp: A pretty much perfect LAKE LOOP (1.5 mi) hiking trail is worth a serious stroll; footbridge, wildflowers, fishing spots, minimal hills,\u00a0lava rocks, and awesome scenery. Plenty of wildlife can be seen, including butterflies and bald eagles. Trail is shaded by tall white fir and ponderosa pine trees. Trailhead is located at the Day Use parking lot, w\/ paved boat ramp, dock, and picnic area.<\/p>\n
