   in the 40's, and night lows during the winter for Island Lake tend to be in the 20's. If you go for the outdoors, you'll like Island Lake. Soar down the rapids of Yuba River - South Fork in a kayak, and if you're popping by from Truckee-Grass Valley, you won't be the only one. This lake is so wonderful. You're almost certainly into lakes, Long Lake is one of those close by, and stunning scenery and tremendous skiing is what you get at Soda Springs.
This lake is so
 
               wonderful. A pleasant close by hotel is Deer Creek Inn; if you've had enough of Island Lake, Hidden Lake is nearby. All the outdoors cool stuff in the Northern Sierra Nevada will keep you coming back repeatedly. Have a glorious hiking adventure along the Round Lake Trail, and paddling on Fordyce Creek is so much fun.
An average amount of precipitation falls at Island Lake; January is when you get the most rain here; July on the other hand is the driest. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Northern Sierra Nevada. Grouse Ridge Campground is a magnificent campground nearby, and what would winter be without some skiing at Royal Gorge.
