Attractions

There are some great places to find a piece of Lake County's amazing geology to take home! However, rock collectors should be aware of rules, regulations and land ownership before collecting. Some areas require permits- even on public lands- and there may be fees associated. Check with local rock shops, as well as federal land agencies like the Lakeview District of the Bureau of Land Management or the Fremont Winema National Forest, to learn about areas for rock collecting and rules and regulations.
