Directions

Lassen National Park is located in northern California north east of Red Bluff and south east of Redding. Lassen is about a 4 hour drive from Sacramento and about a 1 hour drive from Red Bluff. Highway 89 is the main road that bisects the park. This is the same road that winds along Lake Tahoe. From Red Bluff take Highway 36 (the turnoff is about a 1/4 miles east of the city limits). From Red Bluff the drive on Highway 36 to the turnoff to Lassen Park is 45 miles. This turnoff (Highway 89 junction with Highway 36) is at the summit of Highway 36. Highway 89 through Lassen Park is open from spring to mid/late fall. It is closed in the winter due to the heavy snows. In the winter Highway 89 is usually kept clear of snow for about 5 or 6 miles until the actual park entrance.

From Redding the best way to access the park is from Highway 44. This is a fairly windy road but is the most direct way from Redding to the park.
