This lake is so wonderful. Cup Lake is a splendid location
 
               to visit for more than one day, Sayles Flat Campground is a splendid location to camp nearby, and a pleasant tour to Haypress Meadows is a fine way to spend an afternoon. Life's too short to enjoy all the entertaining stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada. If you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Tahoe Paradise Golf Course is close by, and why not take a refreshing hike along the General Creek Trail. If you want a good time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Cup Lake. Really magnificent skiing awaits you at Sierra at Tahoe; you'll possibly meet some people from Gardnerville Ranchos here.
Be careful coming to Cup Lake, you might not ever wanna return home again. If you need a spot to stay The Meadow is a great choice, and Kirkwood has fine slopes and a friendly staff. So many enjoyable things in the Northern Sierra Nevada, just astonishing. There's fine hiking along the Hawley Grade Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Silver Creek - South Fork, and Fortyfive Mile Campground is a tremendous campground nearby.
All year is a brilliant time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you go for the outdoors. If you come at the right time of year, American River - South Fork offers some tremendous whitewater. Lakes are magnificent; Cagwin Lake is a lake that's right next door to Cup Lake.
