During your stay at Duck Lake do stop by nearby Lester Beach, and on a good day you can take a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 14.

An average amount of rain falls at Duck Lake; January is the month that gets the most snow, and July on the other hand is the driest. Just can't get enough of Duck Lake. Americas Best Value Inn Tahoe City/Lake Tahoe is a perfect place to get some rest; Lake Genevieve is a great lake nearby.
While you're here at Duck Lake you can take a hike along the General Creek Trail, and paddling on American River - South Fork is so much fun. Yeah, come up here to the Northern Sierra Nevada for a great time. Everybody close by loves skiing at Alpine Meadows. Lakes? Sure, Lost Lake is nearby. This lake is so wonderful.
