Eagle Lake is the second-largest natural lake entirely in California, at about 5,100 feet in Lassen County roughly 16 miles north of Susanville.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Eagle Lake, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons, or a side-by-side for the forest roads.
It has no outlet, so its size rises and falls with the water, between about 16,000 and 29,000 acres, and it is home to the Eagle Lake trout found nowhere else.

- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children under 13 must wear one whenever a boat 26 feet or shorter is under way, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one.
- Towing skiers, wakeboarders and tubers takes a driver plus an observer 12 or older, isn't allowed from sunset to sunrise, and a red or orange ski flag goes up whenever a rider is down in the water.
- Jet skis may not be ridden from sunset to sunrise, the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver, and every boat must slow to 5 mph within 100 feet of swimmers and within 200 feet of swim beaches, swim floats and docks in use.
