Susanville

The landscape around Susanville is a high-desert basin edged by conifer-covered slopes and crossed by the Susan River, which has shaped both the town’s layout and local economy. As the seat of Lassen County in northeastern California, it serves a broad rural area where ranching and forestry have long mattered. The settlement began as Rooptown in 1854; its later name honours Susan, daughter of founder Isaac Roop. The Bizz Johnson National Recreation Trail follows a former Southern Pacific rail corridor through the Susan River Canyon, preserving a tangible link to the area’s railroad past.
