Snag Lake sits in the southeastern section of Lassen Volcanic National Park at 6,600 feet elevation, offering anglers a true wilderness fishing experience in one of Northern California's most scenic backcountry destinations. This remote lake drains into Horseshoe Lake via Grassy Creek and provides excellent opportunities for wild trout fishing in a pristine alpine setting. The lake represents one of several quality fishing destinations within the park that receives considerably less pressure than more accessible waters like Manzanita Lake, making it ideal for anglers seeking solitude alongside their fishing pursuits. The trail to Snag Lake takes you past the Fantastic Lava Beds and through unique volcanic terrain that showcases the park's dramatic geological history.
