This 100± acre recreation tract is one of nine
private in-holdings located within the Modoc National Forest,
between Lava Beds National Monument and the Glass Mountain
Geologic Area, and offers a rare glimpse of a young volcanic glass
intact flow.
There is active pumice mining in the area. In addition to its 100±
acres, the Glass Mountain Recreation Tract is being offered with
20 unpatented mining claims, each of those twenty claims being
twenty acres in size, which were acquired by the Seller for the
purpose of manufacturing bricks in Tionesta and Klamath Falls.
The manufacturing has since been discontinued. However, all mining claims remain active. Each claim has an
annual maintenance fee of $140. A new owner may choose to release these mining claims, they would become
inactive, and no fee would be paid in 2014.
