About Tule Lake National Monument

This monument protects the Tule Lake Segregation Center, the most contested of the camps where Japanese Americans were held during World War II, and Camp Tulelake, which started as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp, then held Japanese Americans, and finally held German prisoners of war. A visitor center and ranger-guided tours help explain this history. Visitors can also walk to points of interest across the site.
