Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Yuba River; a nice place to camp here at Lake Francis is Burnt Bridge Campground. This lake is so wonderful. Don't forget to take a splendid little journey to Dobbins Creek, and if you need a location to stay Stagecoach Motel is a splendid choice. This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Yuba River - North Fork for all you thrill seekers; needless to say, A journey
 
               to Condemned Bar is always fun.
So much amusing stuff right next door to Lake Francis, truly phenomenal. A lake nearby is Lake Mildred, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Lake Francis; Humbug Trail is a magnificent local trail. And if that's not sufficient there's loads more enjoyable things to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Good hiking is available along the South Yuba Trail, and one of the major marks of the surroundings of Lake Francis is Red Bluff. Now, you may assume that's a load but there's even more amusing things to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. New Bullards Bar Reservoir is a nearby lake that you could check out; dry warm beds await you at Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites GOLD MINERS INN-GRASS VALLEY.
The high level of rainfall makes Lake Francis a quite wet place; the month with most of the rain is January, and the driest of the months is July.

East Meadows Campground - Tahoe National Forest
13 miles away
East Meadows has been a favorite since my first trip. The area is full of natural attractions. A favorite is to go sit in the small waterfalls just a short hike from the campsite. Beaware that because of the elevation, the campground does not open Memorial Day like most (although they will let you make reservations during that weekend), it's usually still covered in snow until the middle of June. However, once you get there you will see what a couple extra weeks of snow will bring in beauty to the surroundings....

What do the stripers bite on at Far West Lake?...
Yeah well...I caught 35 bluegills, 12 channels, and 1 huge striper out of the lake two days ago, so there's no more fish to go around for you...and the best part is I caught all of that in 2 hours....
Where is the best place to catch fish?...
This lake is a 7 out of 10... I say this because it's kinda empty.. not alot of trees, but the water is great... followed by the fishing.. I caught 47 bass in about 4-5 hrs of fishing with plastics, nights crawlers, and crank bait.... The cat fish bite is hot.. the good thing about this spot, no one there, lots of fish for everyone.... the camping and entry are cheap.. They even have a store where you can buy beer n snacks....
