Lassen Volcanic National Park

• Lassen Peak Meadow -
• King's Creek Meadow - Approved filming location non-wilderness area
• Lake Helen - Approved filming location and non-wilderness area
• Painted Dunes - Filming can take place only up to the wilderness boundary portion of the Butte Lake Area which starts about a half mile before reaching the Cinder Cone on the Cinder Cone trail. There are great views of the Painted Dunes from walking the Butte Lake trail to the northeast and this view can be reached within less than a mile. The lava flows can be seen around the lake right from the Butte Lake Day Use Parking Area.
• Waterfall where they can get close without people - Kings Creek Falls and Mill Creek Falls both have trails approved for filming as they are in non-wilderness areas. However, once you get to the falls the wilderness boundary begins and both falls are pretty inaccessible due to rough terrain and no trail access to be able to get up close to them. You may want to consider Burney Falls State Park for this if you want close access to waterfalls. Otherwise, the views of both Kings Creek and Mill Creeks Falls from where the trail overlook destination points are beautiful and are definitely worth considering even without the close proximity access.

Filming generally can take place in all non-wilderness areas of the park. Special consideration is taken for requests of closed areas. We ask for a minimum of 14 days to process a filming permit application. News coverage does not require a permit for either filming or still photography but is subject to time place and manner restrictions if warranted to maintain order and ensure the safety of the public and the media and protect natural and cultural resources.
