On the northeast corner of Lake Almanor lies the small town of Chester.  Its where you'll find all the amenities like a post office, schools, an airport and numerous shops and eateries.

​The famous Olsen Barn lies just outside of Chester in the meadow and the North Fork of the Feather River flows through town on its way to the lake.

​Just to the east of Chester is the 1.5 mile long causeway. This roadway is full of scenic views and waterfowl.
