Lassen Volcanic National Park

Lassen Volcanic National Park is pleased to announce the availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Manzanita Lake Development Concept Plan/Environmental Assessment (plan/EA). The FONSI authorizes implementation of the preferred alternative, which includes management actions and strategies that focus on protection of cultural and natural resources, expand visitor opportunities, enhance connectivity and safety, and increase accessibility of facilities throughout the Manzanita Lake Developed Area.

Lassen National Park Highway is closed to through traffic for the winter/spring snow season. The park remains open throughout the winter/spring snow season and can be a wonderful time to visit for well-prepared visitors.

Lassen Volcanic National Park plans to hand ignite burn piles as cool and wet weather begin to dominate the forecast. The park will take advantage of the changing weather conditions to complete the final phase of fuels reduction projects throughout the park when enough precipitation has fallen to prevent flames from spreading beyond pile areas.
