Lake Almanor Momboosa
Enjoy Lake Almanor and don’t forget your Momboosa tickets.
What is Momboosa?
To some it’s slang for Big Wave. To others, a welcomed addition to a paradise they call home. To you, it’s a vacation-themed escape from your daily grind where troubles ripple away with the waves. But for the enjoyment of all who value relaxation, Momboosa is a celebration of simple pleasures, building memories that define summer like the smell of coconut lotion and the warmth of sand between your toes.
Momboosa begins in late spring with wine walks that continue throughout the summer. Enjoy a stroll through unique shops while enjoying a variety of wines and microbrews. The festivities continue with pre-concert music-on-the-green celebrations located at one of Northern California’s most prestigious golf courses, Bailey Creek Country Club.
Momboosa Music Festival is more than a concert. You’ll enjoy music from a variety of up-and-coming artists in the country, rock and island-themed genres while basking in the great outdoors with plush accommodations from private VIP cabanas to hosted hospitality tents. This family-friendly environment includes a kid’s themed park, volleyball courts, arts and craft show, great food, cold libations and open field dancing.
It is so much fun…. If you missed it this year DONT miss it next year. It is well worth the trip!!!

Lake Almanor West
Lake Almanor West is a 615 acre community located on the west shore of scenic Lake Almanor, adjacent to California State Highway 89 a few miles southwest of the town of Chester. In addition to the approximately 700 residential lots, the development includes a 9 hole golf course, four tennis courts, a beach/recreation area and a boat ramp. The golf course is open to the public, but all of the other facilities are private and reserved for property owner usage. The development began in 1974 and continues to grow as a quiet community with its own water. This is a wondeful community alot of charm.
The West Almanor Community Club is the property owners’ association of Lake Almanor West. As a Common Interest Development, all property owners automatically become members of WACC. The organization functions via a Board of Directors elected for a term of two years on a rotating basis, with elections held each year at the annual meeting scheduled during early July. Regular Board meetings are held monthly; notices are posted on community bulletin boards and at the WACC Office. Since every property owner has a stake in the mutually-owned (“common”) facilities, members are encouraged to attend WACC meetings, participate in community matters and act as good stewards of the development’s resources.
Lake Almanor Country Club
Rich with amenities, the common areas include a nine-hole golf course, seven tennis courts, three boat launches, two recreation areas with barbeque’s and picnic tables, a band shell for performing arts programs, twenty-five miles of private patrolled roads with staffed, gated entrances, a clubhouse, administration building, and maintenance yards. There are approximately 400 lots that do not contain residences. Summer is our busy time, especially from Memorial Day through Labor Day with member “snowbirds” returning and the many vacationers who have discovered Lake Almanor and its many water accesses for fishing, boating, and skiing.
