Going for a hike on the Emigrant Trail is always a great adventure, and a day on the slopes of Bear Valley is just what you need. This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along the Charity Valley Trail, and Harvest Inn-St Helena, Napa Valley is a wonderful spot to get some rest. A pretty lake like Black Rock | |

Lake right next door to Long Lake is a perfect site to have a look at; whitewater paddling is fine on Mokelumne River - North Fork. LDS Camp Ritchie is a glorious campground nearby, and if you like skiing, you're in luck; Kirkwood
is relatively near. This lake is so wonderful. A tremendous nearby hotel is Pine Cone Acre Motel, and lakes are such calm sites, why not pop by Cole Creek Lakes. Long Lake is a reasonably wet place usually with a large amount
of rain; January is the month that gets the most snow; July meanwhile is the driest month. Just can't get enough of Long Lake. Go for a hike on the Hawley Grade Trail, and get wet paddling on American River - South Fork. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
