Manzanita Lake is located close to the NW entrance of the
park. It's a nice place to rest by the water, or to take a leasurely stroll
around the lake for some great views of Lassen peak (like the one in the
picture which shows the lake with Lassen Peak in the background). Manzanita
lake is surrounded by willows, mountain alders and many other types of
trees which I couldn't recognize. When we took our stroll we ran into a
herd of deer; there were about ten of them. In addition to the visual
delights Manzanita Lake provides good fishing. One of the Lassen
campgrounds is located here.
