Modoc National Forest is a land of contrasts and unspoiled settings for a vacation getaway. Unique vistas of rugged mountains, lava caves, craters, pristine and serene lakes and streams await visitors to this beautiful forest. Some of the most outstanding attractions include:

• Burnt Lava Flow, Medicine Lake Glass Flow and Glass Mountain Glass Flow – are located within the Medicine Lake Highlands and designated as special interest areas because of their unique geological features.

• Medicine Lake Highlands – considered a “land of rocks and mountains,” this land was believed to resemble the moon and was used in preparation for the first moon landing.

• Medicine Lake – The beautiful, tree-lined shores of Medicine Lake make it hard to realize this area was once the center of a volcano.

• South Warner Wilderness – a variety of vegetation adorns the area – from high desert sagebrush and juniper, to high alpine terrain with mountain peaks, and glacial lakes.
