Sierra Touring Company

Sport utility vehicle owners take note!  Plumas County has plenty of well-maintained, unpaved forest service roads that lead to lakes, look-outs and picnic sites.  The roads access some 1.2 million acres of public land that can keep intrepid explorers happy for days on end.

The Plumas County Visitors Bureau has developed brochures featuring four popular backcountry road adventures, designed with SUV's in mind.  These brochures are available at area visitor centers.

If you're looking for more rugged off-highway adventure, head for one of the 4X4 routes, staging areas or campgrounds developed specifically for off-highway vehicles.

The Plumas National Forest visitor map is available for sale to help guide off-highway users. To avoid fines, stay on designated roads and trails.
