A hearty, warm welcome is what you can expect when you arrive at Gray Eagle Lodge. First check in to your cozy cabin, then make yourself at home. Take in the incredible scenery surrounding the lodge, breathe in the sweet mountain air and listen to the silence. Your vacation has begun. If you choose to kick back, nap or read a book, so be it. We think reading beside a mountain stream is one of life's great pleasures, so we certainly understand your desire for solitude. But if you want to jump right into action, you might have a tough time deciding where to begin.

The Lakes Basin, in the Plumas National Forest, provides a variety of outdoor challenges. Hike to the Sierra Buttes look-out tower, explore the Red Fir Nature Trail, or chronicle the rare wildflowers that surround the Lodge. Bird watching enthusiasts come from all over the country to take in the native Sierra birds.
If you’re “hooked” on fishing, enjoy our world-class fly fishing on Davis Lake, or boat and bank fishing for browns, rainbows, and brook trout on more than five different High Sierra lakes.
If your idea of wilderness is less dusty, the town of Graeagle offers quaint shops and restaurants. Mountain air will provide the advantage you may need on a variety of local golf courses, Our game room in the Lodge provides entertainment for young and old alike.
