 About Lassen College and Lassen County
Lassen Community College is the most northeastern community college district in the state located in
the city of Susanville, 90 miles north of Reno, Nevada. Within 20 minutes of campus a person could
be in the northern most boundary of the Sierra Mountain range or in the Cascade Mountain range.
The college offers ski and cross country courses at one of the last rope tow mountain ski facilities in
the western states. The districts’ foundation runs a marina and the camping facilities at the southern

end of the second largest natural lake in California, Eagle Lake. The college’s district is mostly rural
serving a total population of less than 50,000 people. Of the 2000-2400 students served each
semester the average age is 34. Agriculture, small business, governmental agencies (local, state and
federal-federal military supply depot, a federal prison and two state prisons), outdoor recreation,
California wild fire management, forestry and water resource management create the majority of job
opportunities within the district. All of the high schools within the district combined graduate
between 400 and 500 students every year. Lassen College is one of a handful of community colleges
who serve residents from adjoining states under the California “Good Neighbor” reduced tuition
agreements serving just over 100 Nevada residents each academic year.
Located in northeastern California, Lassen County is the fourth largest county in the state. The only
incorporated city in the county is Susanville, the County seat, where a growing community of over
15,000 reside in the scenic upper Honey Lake Valley, back-dropped with forested mountains of the
Northern Sierra and Southern Cascades.
Lassen County affords unlimited outdoor recreation and sporting activities for residents and visitors
alike. Attractions include: trophy trout fishing and water sports at nationally renowned Eagle Lake,
the second largest natural lake in California; the scenic Bizz Johnson Trail, a 30 mile long converted
rail route between Susanville and Westwood which attracts mountain bikers, hikers, cross country
skiers and fly fishing enthusiasts; and the pristine meadows and forests of the Susanville Ranch
Regional County Park located adjacent to the City add to the many miles of out-standing trail
opportunities the county offers.
From Susanville, driving to regional destinations is surprisingly easy since traffic gridlock is not a
local way of life. Expanded entertainment, shopping and an international airport in Reno are less than
90 minutes away. Some of the north Lake Tahoe area ski resorts are within two hours. Driving time
to Sacramento is usually under four hours and the Pacific Ocean at Eureka is about five hours away.
Residents of Lassen County enjoy a rural mountain environment, outstanding family oriented
recreational opportunities and excellent schools.
