Lakes Basin trailhead-specific access: Use the signed Jamison Mine Trailhead access in Lakes Basin Recreation Area, Plumas National Forest, California. Use the signed Jamison, Grass Lake, Smith Lake, Rock Lake, or related official access and verify parking, seasonal road status, and map junctions. Lakes Basin trails and Gold Lake Highway approaches can remain snowbound into summer; wildfire, storms, wet trails, and forest-road work can close individual access points.
Check Plumas alerts, county road status, and the exact Jamison, Grass, Smith, Rock, Hidden, or Wades approach before travel.
