Plumas Lake is a master-planned exurb and census-designated place in Yuba County, California. It is located 30 miles (48 km) north of Sacramento and 10 miles (16 km) south of Marysville off California State Route 70. Its population was 8,126 at the 2020 census.
Plumas Lake was first conceived in 1993 as a means to guide development along the Feather and Bear Rivers. Construction began in 2003 and at full build-out the community is expected to have roughly 12,000 homes and 36,000 residents.




History


There was previously a settlement called Plumas Landing (also known as Plumas City) west of Plumas Lake on the bank of the Feather River. The old settlement was impacted by Gold rush-era hydraulic mining in the Yuba River watershed upstream. Mine tailings wound up in the riverbeds and were then transported into the Sacramento Valley, where they accumulated in the river channels and reduced their conveyance capacities.
Flood risk has been a concern throughout Plumas Lake's development and many individuals and agencies were opposed to its construction. The area that would become the community of Plumas Lake experienced major floods in 1986 and 1997. Despite this, the first master plan for Plumas Lake was approved in 1993 and construction started early 2003.
In the years since construction began the levee infrastructure has improved significantly. In 2019, FEMA accredited the community with moderate-to-low flood risk. The community is rated against 200-year floods which equates to a 1 in 200 chance (0.5% probability) that a flood will occur in any given year. Improvements to existing water management infrastructure could enable 500-year flood protection in the future.




Geography


Plumas Lake is located at 39°1′14.62″N 121°33′28.86″W (39.0207272, -121.5580176). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP of Plumas Lake covers an area of 11.84 square miles (30.7 km2), all of it land. It lies at an elevation of 46 feet (14 m). It shares the same ZIP code as Olivehurst, California, a neighboring community.
Plumas Lake is in the southern tip of Yuba County near the confluence of the Feather and Bear Rivers. The community's north and south ends are connected by River Oaks Boulevard and Algodon Slough, a seasonal backwater that flows into the Bear River. A common misconception is that the community is built on top of a dry lake. The old lake is actually located northwest of the community and is now mostly agricultural land.
Since Plumas Lake is an unincorporated community there are a few ways to define its borders. The most popular definition is the census-designated place which includes land south of Algodon Road, north of Bear River, and some adjacent rural areas. The Plumas Lake Specific Plan's definition extends even further north to include the Olivehurst suburb of Wheeler Ranch, Plumas Lake Golf Club, Arboga, and rural areas in between. The largest definition is the Plumas Lake ZIP code area which includes land east of the Feather River, west of Forty Mile Road, and everything north of Bear River up to the new developments along Arboga Road.
