A campground and picnic area are located along Wolf Creek, just north of town for those who prefer close to town camping, complete with barbecue area, sanitary facilities, running water and horse-shoe pits. For non-campers, the community has trailer parks, motels, a hotel, restaurants, and a community park with picnic area playground and a softball field.
Logging cattle ranching, Christmas trees, and a buffalo ranch contribute to the local economy. Mining has had its place in Plumas County, and may one day again become an active part of our economy.
The annual Gold Digger Days celebration, held the third weekend in July, is a highlight of the summer vacation season. Indian Valley residents join with many visitors to make it a memorable event.

Located on the road to Antelope Lake, the town receives a large number of tourists during the busy summer season. The annual Fourth of July Parade and Silver Buckle Rodeo, as well as the annual Solar Cook-Off, which occurs the second weekend of July, draw crowds from a wide area. A historical marker fashioned from a millstone brought around Cape Horn, and used in the first flour mill built in the Pacific Northwest, stands in front of the elementary school west of town.
