Paddling Details

There are many lakes in Lassen Volcanic National Park that offer opportunities for non-motorized boating. Some of the most popular ones to explore include Manzanita Lake, Butte Lake, Juniper Lake, and Summit Lake. Kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards can be rented during the summer at the Manzanita Lake camper store, and are available from 9 a.m. to 30 minutes before sunset on a first-come, first-serve basis. Note that motorized boats are prohibited in the park, and that you cannot boat on Reflection, Emerald, Helen, and Boiling Springs Lake. You can fish at any of the lakes in Lassen with a California fishing license (catch and release only) with artificial lures with a single, barbless hook. However, Manzanita Creek above Manzanita Lake is closed to fishing.
