Summary[edit]

Description

Eagle Lake, with Horse Lake (dry) in the foreground. U.S. 395 is at the bottom of the photo. Lassen Peak can be seen in the distance.

Eagle Lake is a lake at 5,098 ft (1,554 m) elevation in Lassen County approximately 15 mi (24 km) north of Susanville, California. An endorheic alkaline lake, it is the second largest natural lake entirely in the state of California, United States.

Eagle Lake is home to osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), from which it gets its name.

Eagle Lake is the only watershed which supports Eagle Lake trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aquilarum). These rainbow trout grow to very large sizes, possibly having evolved to live longer as low flows often restrict spawning runs up their main spawning stream, Pine Creek.
