What a nice lake Eureka Lake is. This lake is so wonderful. A great nearby hotel is Chalet View Lodge; Florentine Canyon is close by, and is a nice place. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Summertime at Eureka Lake comes with high temperatures in the 90's, and during summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's, and night lows at Eureka Lake through the winter regularly descend into

| | the 20's. After a long day outdoors Deer Creek Inn is a glorious place to spend a night or two. Movin' West Trailer Ranch is a pleasant local campground, and if you come at the right time of year, Feather River - Middle Fork offers some nice whitewater. So much cool stuff to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada, too wonderful to be true. At Eureka Lake you can spot Eureka Peak, and on a glorious day you can take a hike along the Butcher Ranch Trail. This | |

lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Upper Jamison Campground while you're here at Eureka Lake; do explore Grass Lake, it's a pretty lake. Yeah, come here to Eureka Lake for a fine time. The Golf Club at Whitehawk Ranch is a brilliant
golf course close by; if you're here you can take a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 15. An average amount of precipitation falls at Eureka Lake; most of the rain falls during January, and the driest of the months is July.
Man, is there a load of fun stuff to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Going for a hike along the Eureka Lake Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood, and some of the water nearby flows, like Deer Creek.
Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Yuba River - North Fork, and while you're here, you could also have a look at delightful Wades Lake.

Young America Lake
 | 1 PHOTO I fished this lake a couple of years ago, after a long hard hike through roocks and brush from Upper Sardine Lake, I found the lake FULL of stunted Brook trout, the Golden Trout may have all died out due to someone planting these brookies into the lake, probably an air drop by a lost fish and game dept. airplane. The hike in and out feom below is miserable and hazardous, from the upper trail, it might be better. The photo here is from above. All in all it was a huge disappointment as far as the trout were concerned!... Small glacial Lake or tarn. Rockbound; located on the north side and in the shadow of the Sierra Buttes in a spectacular setting. Frozen much of the year. Route in is cross country - no formal trail. Stocked with golden trout.... |

Wild Plum Campground
 | 13 miles away Wild Plum is an excellent place to camp for all ages. Most camp spots are right next to a beautiful rushing river and there is a small lake and waterfall (seasonal) within a 10 minute walk across the river. The lake is deep enough for cliff jumping!! Bathrooms are available, though they are like most campground bathrooms (non flushing). Black Bears come around now and again, but they're really no problem at all. Beautiful hiking! I love this place... |
