Applegate Field Office

The Applegate Field Office lies in northeast California, at the intersection of California, Nevada and Oregon. Our field office manages approximately 1.8 million acres of public land in Modoc, Lassen, Siskiyou and Shasta counties in California, and Washoe and Humboldt counties in Nevada. Our main office (temporarily closed for remodeling) is in Alturas, and we staff a field station in Cedarville, California on the Nevada border.  

The region that the Applegate Field Office manages is a transition zone between the Cascade Range to the west, and the Great Basin on the east, with warm dry summers and cold, wet winters. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, this is the place to be! Forested mountains, alpine lakes and high desert landscapes offer opportunities for camping, backpacking, hunting, fishing, hiking and exploring.
