     This lake is one of the great places here in the Southern Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Best Western Rose Quartz Inn. All through the months of summer highs here at Drake Lake reach the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. Highs throughout the winter are regularly in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Drake Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Dream Lake is a nearby lake that you
 
   could check out; you can distinguish Sifford Mountain from Drake Lake. Stay the night at Kings Creek Campground, and if you have time to spare, Lassen Volcanic National Park is a national park worth visiting. Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Southern Cascade Range. While you're here at Drake Lake, you could also take a look at striking Bench Lake, and don't leave Drake Lake without first paying a visit to Devils Kitchen Hot Springs.
 
               So much amusing stuff in the Southern Cascade Range, just striking. Drake Lake is a perfect place to visit for more than one day, Warner Valley Campground is a perfect place to camp nearby; there is a nice hiking trail nearby called the Growler Trail. Drake Lake is a good site of normal rain; January is the wettest month with most snow, and the driest of the months is July. Yeah, come here to Drake Lake for a delightful time. Bailey Creek Cottages is a great location to get some rest, and while you're here you can take a hike along the Childs Meadows Trail.
On a fine day at Drake Lake you can take a hike along the Hanna Trail, and of course Panther Creek flows through this vicinity.

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
13 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
14 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.
