Echo Lake is in northern Plumas County, not far from the headwaters of Bailey Creek. It encompasses some thirty acres, and there is a small unimproved forest service campground there. Prior to the early 1970s it was only accessible by hiking. That changed when the forest service decided to extend road along Bailey Creek from Heckle Ranch to connect over to Silver Lake and the Caribou Wilderness.
Unfortunately, this area was ravaged by last year’s Dixie Fire.

I remember hiking to Echo Lake with my father and my siblings in the sixties when I was a young child. It was beautiful!
