Chester straddles Lake Almanor’s northern shoreline in Northern California, where the reservoir and surrounding forests have long shaped life around water, timber and recreation. The community lies near Lassen Volcanic National Park, home to Lassen Peak, the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range. Lake Almanor was formed by Canyon Dam on the North Fork Feather River, creating a broad body of water beneath wooded slopes. Chester maintains a working timber identity alongside marinas, campgrounds and seasonal visitors; the Collins Pine Company has operated a lumber mill here for generations.
