Modoc County contains several state and federal reservations for forests, Native Americans, and fish and wildlife, all of which keep the region beautiful and rural. There are several water recreational areas in the county, and it is also the trade center for the agricultural region, which mainly produces beef, sheep, potatoes, alfalfa and lumber. Despite the wide span of wilderness, recreational areas, hunting and fishing opportunities, and extraordinary natural beauty, tourism is not a major part of the local economy -- mainly due to the remote location.
