  • Graeagle is a town in California with a population of 538 in Plumas County, California, nestled in the Northern High Sierras. It has rich forests and mountains, and hiking, camping, and fishing. Mill employees used to live in the charming red buildings that line the main street, but now they gleam with great stores, eating, and services. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the Mill Pond, which is a terrific area for family enjoyment.
    Plumas Eureka State Park and the incomparable Lakes Basin are just minutes away. Hike the trails, visit the State Park Museum, or swim, fish, and play in the myriad lakes and streams just outside your door.
    Within a 20-minute drive of Graeagle, there are five outstanding 18-hole golf courses: Graeagle Meadows, Plumas Pines, Whitehawk Ranch, the Dragon at Nakoma, and Grizzly Ranch. The public is welcome to attend any of the classes.

      Do you know how much land is up there that looks just like that? Just drive to Lassen National Park and there is empty, beautiful land all over the place. Not even any towns.

      I just looked up where it is. A big hike from the Bay Area.

      @@KingfisherTalkingPictures I guess these places are pretty close to Sacramento, but for some reason few people move there. I'm sure people would if they founded towns and cities. But that doesn't happen anymore nowadays

    I moved here 18 years ago after leaving the Bay Area, and never went back. You'll have to check out Sierra City and Downieville if you haven't yet.

      Used to mow lawns for the homeowner’s association on Plumas Pines Golf Course in 1987. Bosses wife worked at the clubhouse. Bill was his name? They didn’t let me mow the lawn of Alva, homeowners association president. Has a beautiful low rent area with isolated cabins in a gorgeous setting.

    I went to summer camp nearby for several years. Actually, Graeagle was the site of a working lumber mill then, and I suppose the lake was the original holding pond for the mill’s tree stock. The general store was a favorite stop for ice cream, fishing supplies, etc., and today looks just about as I remembered it. Yes, truly a lovely place.

    The only secret places anymore, have people who don’t tell or show where they live. My town hasn’t been ruined yet, but we all keep our mouths and posting under control. It’s beautiful up there, I’ve camped all around that area. Many years ago, I’m sure it’s not the same anymore 😔

    Looks nice. Would definitely enjoy a visit. Then I'd realize I can't get what I want in town because its tiny, I have very limited choice, the food and drink is mediocre because there's practically no competition, and then I'd want to be back in a city where I go to a store 24-hours a day and get what I want at 20 different places, or maybe watch a movie at any of a half-dozen theaters, or go to 20 different bars, 40 restaurants.... California is a land of convenience and choice, and small towns don't have it. But they sure are good for a break from population and to unwind. Ask the teenagers who live there how much they like the place, and whether they ever expect to leave. One man's paradise is another's prison. All that said... added to my list for a visit/short stay. :D Everyone else, don't be fooled - don't come... I mean go there.

    Used to go to an A.A. Meeting there, upstairs above a bar, 1987-89. Only place I have seen a mountain lion. Really good craft fair there. Lived in Portola CA., dozen miles west, where if you wanted a job, you had to inherit a chainsaw.

    "it's the true old west." With an 18-hole golf course, condos, and trailer parks. The BS could be left off and just a description of what it is, is all that is required.

    Produced by real estate agents and or chamber of commerce for sure. As a CA resident I’ve driven through it many times… always get the impression it’s just way overbuilt by big money & lost all its soul. Looks more like a newly built retirement community, not beautiful as the narrator tries to hype it as. So many better places.
