My family went to Almanor for many, many years from the mid-80's to early 2000's. Great overall lake for family fun...water, golf, trees, clean air, etc., though not the best for riding in retrospect. Almanor is a typical mountain lake. Super butter in the morning and windy in the afternoon. It is also basically open with no coves so it gets fairly rolly. Water can also be a bit chilly. Cold overnight, but the air warms up fast in the morning. Debris is not a concern, but the lake is man-made and there are areas where the lake is shallow. Water level is also a concern in drought years. Worth checking out for all around fun, though there are better lakes for riding around.
