About Lassen Volcanic National Park
Lassen Volcanic National Park encompasses over 106,000 acres of a dynamic and diverse, volcanic landscape. Located at the southern extent of the Cascade Range in northern California,
the park was established as a unit of the national park system in 1916 shortly after a series of highly publicized, massive volcanic eruptions of Lassen Peak in 1914 and 1915.
Lassen Volcanic also protects a rich diversity of plant and animal life; a robust human history including American Indians and pioneers; and a wide variety of recreational opportunities.
