Butte Valley National Grassland

Butte Valley National Grassland spans nearly 20,000 acres in northeastern California and offers a mix of open grassland habitat and dispersed recreation opportunities across USFS-managed multiple-use land. The area supports fishing in its waters, dispersed camping throughout the grassland, and hunting during applicable seasons. Visitors will also find scenic driving and wildlife viewing across the landscape, along with informal trails and horseback riding options typical of national grassland terrain.

Access is straightforward for a remote grassland property, though services and developed facilities are minimal. The region experiences four distinct seasons, with summer and early fall offering the most pleasant conditions for outdoor recreation. Winter weather can make access challenging, so plan visits between late spring and early autumn for the most reliable experience.
