PORTOLA

Railroad history meets wide-open mountain adventure.

Set along the Middle Fork of the Feather River, Portola is a small mountain city with deep railroad roots and easy access to the wide-open landscapes of eastern Plumas County. Here, rivers, forests, lakes, and broad valleys create plenty of room to explore.

Whether you come for the history, outdoor recreation, or simply the scenic drive, Portola makes a welcoming base for discovering this side of Plumas County.

Where to Wander

Start at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum, where historic locomotives and railcars tell the story of Portola’s railroad past. Then head outdoors to fish, hike, bike, paddle, or simply enjoy the scenery.

Nearby Lake Davis is a favorite for fishing, boating, wildlife watching, and year-round recreation, while the surrounding forests and Sierra Valley offer miles of open country to discover. Follow the river, take the scenic route, and Wander Your Way through eastern Plumas County.
