     This lake is so wonderful. Looking for something in the vicinity of Loch Leven Lakes? Salmon Lake is in the vicinity, and there is a magnificent hiking trail close by called the Loch Leven Trail. For the period of the warm days of summer at Loch Leven Lakes temperatures are regularly in the 80's. Once the sun is down it falls down to the 40's. Through the winter highs are in the 40's, and overnight lows at Loch Leven Lakes all through the winter generally plunge  
   into the 20's. So many amusing things to do at Loch Leven Lakes, so little time. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Loch Leven Lakes has to offer, you can camp at Sterling Lake Campground; going for a hike on the Salmon Lake Trail is always a tremendous adventure.
In the event that you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Yuba River - South Fork, and close by you discover the Cherry Point Trail which
 
               is a wonderful hiking trail. Loch Leven Lakes is a pretty wet place generally with a large amount of precipitation; during the month of January you get the most rain around here; the driest month of the year is July. Fordyce Creek has a wonderful whitewater paddling spot close by, and what would winter be without some skiing at Royal Gorge.
Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Loch Leven Lakes is a pleasant spot to visit for more than one day, Cold Springs Campground is a pleasant spot to camp nearby; you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Soda Springs if you're here. This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Plumpjack Squaw Valley Inn is a glorious place to spend a night or two, unsurprisingly you could also take a look at High Loch Leven Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. So many enjoyable things in the Northern Sierra Nevada, just tremendous. From Loch Leven Lakes you obtain a fine vista of Cherry Point, and you're sure to come across some nice people from Truckee-Grass Valley here.
Holiday Inn Express TRUCKEE is a perfect site to get some rest. The Northern Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful.
