Susan River (California)

Susan River (California)

The Susan River is a river, approximately 40 mi (64 km) long, in northeastern California in the United States. It drains an arid plateau of volcanic highlands into the basin of intermittent Honey Lake. Its headwaters form the westernmost edge of the Great Basin.

It rises in eastern Lassen County, east of Lassen Volcanic National Park, and flows generally east past Susanville and emerging into a ranching valley. It enters the north end of Honey Lake approximately 15 mi (24 km) southeast of Susanville.

Its waters are used for irrigation in the surrounding ranching area and are highly regulated.
