Whohoo, so many exciting things in one place! The Northern Sierra Nevada rocks! The snow is perfect at Donner Ski Ranch; after a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express Truckee, Ca is a nice spot to spend a night or two. This lake is so wonderful. Golf can be played at Tahoe Donner Golf Course, and since you're here at Independence Lake it's a glorious idea to stop by Anderson Meadow. So much fun stuff to do at Independence Lake, so little time. If you came to camp Independence Lake Campground is a wonderful place to do that; you can go for a hike on the Cottonwood Fisherman Trail.
Independence Lake is regularly a quite dried up place; most of the snow falls through January while July is commonly the driest month. Paddling on Yuba River - South Fork is so much fun, and why not head up to Tahoe Donner and strap some skis to your feet.
