     So much enjoyable stuff to do at Blue Lake, so little time. Lakes are glorious; Ridge Lake is a lake that's right next door to Blue Lake, and Blue Lake is a glorious location to visit for more than one day, Bluff Falls Campground is a glorious location to camp nearby. This lake is one of the great places here in the Southern Cascade Range. If you love the outdoors you'll love it here in the Southern Cascade Range. Kings Creek Campground is a perfect campground  
   nearby, and dry warm beds await you at Bailey Creek Cottages.
Blue Lake is a wet spot that gets much rainfall; January is the month that gets the most rain; July meanwhile is the driest month. Places like Chummy Meadows are splendid to explore, and hiking along the Childs Meadows Trail is great fun. This lake is so wonderful. Bunchgrass Creek is a pretty stream that is worth taking a look at, and going for a hike along the Hanna Trail will let you absorb the
 
               natural beauty of this area.
During the warm days of summer highs here at Blue Lake get into the 90's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 60's. During the winter the highs are commonly in the 50's, and nighttime lows all through the winter for Blue Lake tend to be in the 30's. This lake is so wonderful. This location, the Southern Cascade Range, has so much outdoors enjoyable stuff. If you need a location to stay Best Western Rose Quartz Inn is a nice choice, and obviously, this is a good area for people who like lakes, Duck Lake is a lake nearby.
Have a delightful hiking adventure along the Growler Trail, and a trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park is recommended.

Hole in the Ground Campground

I ALSO HAVE GONE CAMPING AT HOLE IN THE GROUND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY I LOVE IT THERE AND NOW SO DO MY KIDS....
I've been going to hole in the ground, off and on for 40 years. From when I was a kid hiking in the forest, tubing down the creek, swimming in the pools, and fishing for planted trout that the hatchery would toss in the creek. Now it is a restricted salmon run, there is no planters and restrictions on the type of tackle you can use. The fishing was great as a kid. I like how peaceful it is, with the sound of creek and an occasional bluejay chirping. I enjoy cooking on the wood stoves. There are only a hand full left, (what a shame). I will be meeting one of my brothers and dad at the hole in three weeks. My large family with foster children love going to the hole. Some have been before and some will experience it for the first time. **lot of good memories**...

Heart Lake Twin Meadows Trail
10 miles away
Twin Meadows was originally named White Meadows and our old family cabin is the one between the meadows. They ran cattle with T.A.Spencer the first pres. of the Tehama Co. Cattleman's Assoc. The forming of the first association was in response to the loss of grazing rights when the park was formed. The shortage of beef during WW1 prompted Woodrow Wilson to state that if necessary they would raise sheep on the lawn of the White House. ...

Potato Patch Campground
12 miles away
We camp at Potato Patch campground annually with several other families. It is a very nice campground on a beautiful river. There is not a lot to do nearby though and it is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no showers. There are no hookups for RVs, but we tent camp anyway. We mostly play by the river (very cold water). Our attraction is the beauty and the people we camp with. We used to fish, but it is all catch and release. I can definitely recommend it but you have to be looking for a relaxing and beautiful setting and mostly doing not much of anything.
