    Do stop by Cup Lake while you're in this part of California. And that's not all there is to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Near Cup Lake you hit upon wonderful locations like Sayles Canyon; don't forget to take a great little visit to Aspen Creek. So much amusing stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada, just extraordinary. A good close by hotel is Best Tahoe West Inn, and a round of golf at nearby Tahoe Paradise Golf Course is a splendid way to kill some  
   time. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the General Creek Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Silver Creek - South Fork.
Just can't get enough of Cup Lake. If you need a location to stay Pine Cone Acre Motel is a great choice; delightful scenery and pleasant skiing is what you acquire at Kirkwood. Have a brilliant hiking adventure along the
 
               Windmiller Trail, and Cup Lake is not far at all from Gardnerville Ranchos. The Northern Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful.
For the period of the summer, highs frequently are in the 70's at Cup Lake while overnight lows are usually in the 40's. Daytime highs throughout the wintertime are in the 40's, and after the sun is down throughout the wintertime temperatures at Cup Lake plunge into the 10's. If you come at the right time of year, American River - South Fork offers some wonderful whitewater, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always go to nearby Cagwin Lake. The amount of rain that falls at Cup Lake is close to the national average; the wettest month of the year is mostly January, that's the one that snows the most, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
Just can't get enough of the Northern Sierra Nevada. This lake is so wonderful. Fortyfive Mile Campground is a delightful campground here, and you have to absolutely dedicate some time to Haypress Meadows if you're here at Cup Lake. You get a magnificent sight of Keiths Dome from Cup Lake; hey, Gotta ski right? Sierra at Tahoe is a perfect location to do that.
So many enjoyable things to do at Cup Lake, so little time. Stay the night at Sayles Flat Campground; hiking along the Hawley Grade Trail is brilliant fun.
