Since it is August, one of my favorite outings is a venture to Plumas Pines Resort on the west short of Lake Almanor, in the area referred to as Prattville. This, Prattville is not to be confused with the original town of Prattville that was destroyed in 1914 to make way for Lake Almanor. This current Prattville had its humble origins  dating back to 1916. It was none other than the forest service who offered 88 lots for a special use permit fee of ten dollars a year..

In 1932, Adelaide and Fred Smith established the Plumas Pines Resort. The Smith’s operated it for the next twenty years. Since that time it has had numerous owners, but its always worthy a visit.
