Antelope Lake is a remote place of autumn perfection and solitude. Located in eastern Plumas County, 30 miles NE of Taylorsville, the lake is a favorite stopping point for migratory birds in autumn.

Though you are unlikely to see antelope at the lake, on a recent visit Jeff Luke Titcomb captured a doe quenching her thirst in Indian Creek and saw few people. The campgrounds will close by mid October, yet Antelope Lake has already become a place you can call yours alone.

Aspen, riparian shrubs and grasses are at peak with red, orange and gold tones warming the scene. Jeff says the aspen dominate the scene with large clusters of brightly colored trees.
