     Now, you may assume that's a lot but there's even more fun stuff to do here in the Southern Cascade Range. Dry warm beds await you at Bailey Creek Cottages; a journey to Lassen Volcanic National Park is recommended. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Growler Trail is glorious fun, of course you could also stop by Duck Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. Ridge Lake is a pretty wet place frequently with much rain; throughout the month of December  
   you get the most snow around here; the driest month is July.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Southern Cascade Range. Take a hike on the Hanna Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Kings Creek Campground is a glorious place to camp. Just can't get enough of Ridge Lake. If you need a spot to stay Best Western Rose Quartz Inn is a glorious choice, and Bluff Falls Campground is a good campground nearby.
And if that's not sufficient
 
               there's plenty more cool stuff to do in the Southern Cascade Range. Ridge Lake is right by the Childs Meadows Trail, and getting to Bunchgrass Creek from Ridge Lake is painless.

Hole in the Ground Campground

I ALSO HAVE GONE CAMPING AT HOLE IN THE GROUND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY I LOVE IT THERE AND NOW SO DO MY KIDS....
I've been going to hole in the ground, off and on for 40 years. From when I was a kid hiking in the forest, tubing down the creek, swimming in the pools, and fishing for planted trout that the hatchery would toss in the creek. Now it is a restricted salmon run, there is no planters and restrictions on the type of tackle you can use. The fishing was great as a kid. I like how peaceful it is, with the sound of creek and an occasional bluejay chirping. I enjoy cooking on the wood stoves. There are only a hand full left, (what a shame). I will be meeting one of my brothers and dad at the hole in three weeks. My large family with foster children love going to the hole. Some have been before and some will experience it for the first time. **lot of good memories**...

Heart Lake Twin Meadows Trail
11 miles away
Twin Meadows was originally named White Meadows and our old family cabin is the one between the meadows. They ran cattle with T.A.Spencer the first pres. of the Tehama Co. Cattleman's Assoc. The forming of the first association was in response to the loss of grazing rights when the park was formed. The shortage of beef during WW1 prompted Woodrow Wilson to state that if necessary they would raise sheep on the lawn of the White House. ...

Potato Patch Campground
12 miles away
We camp at Potato Patch campground annually with several other families. It is a very nice campground on a beautiful river. There is not a lot to do nearby though and it is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no showers. There are no hookups for RVs, but we tent camp anyway. We mostly play by the river (very cold water). Our attraction is the beauty and the people we camp with. We used to fish, but it is all catch and release. I can definitely recommend it but you have to be looking for a relaxing and beautiful setting and mostly doing not much of anything.

...e area of Northern California. Fishing in the famous Hat Creek is only a few minutes away as is fly fishing in the Hat Creek trophy area and Baum Lake. Burney Falls and lake Britton are about 23 miles away.

A 4 1/2 star golf course is about 30 minutes in Fall River Mills. The north entrance of Lassen National Park is a short 20 minute drive and Subway Cave, a volcanic formed tube , is a 5 minute drive. Another attraction to this area is the Thousand Lake Wilderness area, hiking and beautiful scenery are part of the experience in this remote wilderness area. If you aren't up to all these activities you can just relax here in the park, watching the ducks in the lake and the fish jumping or fish for our trophy rainbow trout with barbless flies or barbless single hook spinners. Our lake Catherine is catch and release only.

All of our RV sites are full hookups, which include water, sewer, electric, cable and 2 hours of free wi-fi. We have a rec-hall for our guests to gather for groups or family gatherings. There is a nice area that has picnic tables for gatherings with a lar...
