     This lake is located in the wonderful Northern Sierra Nevada. Lakes? Sure, Hell Hole Reservoir is in close proximity, and do take a hike on the McKinstry Trail. That right there is plenty of cool stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Sierra Nevada has it all. If you come at the right time of year, Rubicon River offers some splendid whitewater, and you could always explore Barts Valley.
