Portola CA to Lassen Volcanic Natioal park

We have reservations at Lake Davis near Portola CA next month. Following this we will relocate to Manzanita lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park. I was wondering about the best route with a 31 ft MH. West on 70 then north on 89 appears to be the most direct. Are the roads through the park OK? The other route would be to go out to 395 to Susanville and take 44 and go into the park from the north. Any ideas?

Thanks

    89 thru Lassen Park is doable with your rig, not enjoyable. Road is narrow, curvy, few large turnouts, and a lot of summer traffic.

    I would take 89 to Lake Almanor, east on 36 to the small historic logging town of Westwood, north on County Rd A-21,to 44, then to Manzanita Lake. All good easy road for your rig. You will also see the access to other parts of the Park, like Butte Lake and Cinder Cone, and pass by the Subway Cave in the community of Old Station.
