About Plumas, Sierra and Nevada Counties Plumas, Sierra, and Nevada counties offer extensive year-round outdoor recreation that draws residents and visitors seeking uncrowded natural landscapes, historic mountain towns, and diverse activities-from hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, OHV riding, and skiing to cycling, birding, and water-based recreation on lakes and rivers. These counties are known for their unique combination of high-elevation forests, alpine lakes, volcanic geology, and remote scenic valleys that create a distinct Sierra Mountain experience. The Plumas and Sierra region is known as the "Lost Sierra", due the remoteness compared to more congested tourist areas with uncrowded recreation opportunities.

Recreation is a major economic driver across the region, supporting local businesses, lodging, restaurants, retail, and seasonal jobs; generating significant visitor spending; and supporting rural economies that rely heavily on tourism, outdoor access, and community-hosted events.
