     Whohoo, so much cool stuff in one place! The Northern Sierra Nevada rules! Get your pulse rate up on the nice whitewater of Yuba River - North Fork, and while you're here you can take a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 15. Throughout the summertime months highs here at Long Lake get into the 90's while overnight lows are usually in the 40's. All through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 40's; nighttime lows in the 20's for Long Lake. This  
   lake is so wonderful. Lakes are magnificent; Hidden Lake is a lake that's near Long Lake, and why not head up to Royal Gorge and strap some skis to your feet.
After a long day outdoors Chalet View Lodge is a good spot to spend a night or two. There is a magnificent hiking trail in the neighborhood of Long Lake called the Eureka Lake Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Movin' West Trailer Ranch is a great location to camp. You just can't imagine
 
               the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the Northern Sierra Nevada has to offer. Lakes Basin is a nice place to stretch your legs a bit; on a magnificent day you can take a hike along the Deer Lake Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. The top of Mount Elwell is easily spotted from Long Lake; a good site for whitewater paddling is Feather River - Middle Fork. Long Lake is a good location of normal rain; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and July is when it's the driest. Not far from Long Lake, you'll discover Hellgrammite Lake which is a stunning lake, and Fern Falls is an inspiring location to stop by while here.
Long Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Sierra Nevada. If you want a pleasant time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Long Lake. If you want to play some golf, you're in luck because The Golf Club at Whitehawk Ranch is in close proximity, and camping is available at Upper Jamison Campground.

Young America Lake
1 PHOTO
I fished this lake a couple of years ago, after a long hard hike through roocks and brush from Upper Sardine Lake, I found the lake FULL of stunted Brook trout, the Golden Trout may have all died out due to someone planting these brookies into the lake, probably an air drop by a lost fish and game dept. airplane. The hike in and out feom below is miserable and hazardous, from the upper trail, it might be better. The photo here is from above. All in all it was a huge disappointment as far as the trout were concerned!...
Small glacial Lake or tarn. Rockbound; located on the north side and in the shadow of the Sierra Buttes in a spectacular setting. Frozen much of the year. Route in is cross country - no formal trail. Stocked with golden trout....

Wild Plum Campground
Wild Plum is an excellent place to camp for all ages. Most camp spots are right next to a beautiful rushing river and there is a small lake and waterfall (seasonal) within a 10 minute walk across the river. The lake is deep enough for cliff jumping!! Bathrooms are available, though they are like most campground bathrooms (non flushing). Black Bears come around now and again, but they're really no problem at all. Beautiful hiking! I love this place...

Faucherie Lake
16 miles away
This lake is a long drive and there are 9 other nice lakes on the road to Faucherie. Very windy and rugged country, the fishing is tough but persistence pays. Used to be private and secluded, but now is very populated and has lost it's private feel. I recomending hiking 5 miles up the canyon to the next lake to get away from the citidits....The place is ridden with Mosquitos, Wasps, and Bears.  The wind always picks up and blows through the group site, and makes most activities miserable.  The drive up is NOT worth it.  Avoid the group site.  There are tons of sites down the dirt road along the creek which offer better protection from the wind.  Best to camp someplace closer to civilization.  The drive is not worth it...

Fuller Lake Campground
19 miles away
NID has never allowed swimming in Fuller Lake....Sorry - there is only a Day Use area at Fuller Lake. There hasn't been camping on that lake for nearly 11 years. While the fishing is great, you can't stay there after the sun sets. And there is limited fire material for making BBQ fires. better to go further up Bowman Road....I drove up there today (8/10/06), and there is only a day use only area....

...glomerates shines a little different light on the world of snow sports. Soda Springs, promotes this unique experience that happens when a family takes the day off together and enjoys the simpler fun in life. Soda Springs is the kind of resort you choose to take your children to for their first day out on snow. There is no long haul carrying gear from a far off parking structure. It's car to slopes with little effort. The lifts are all within site. The niche Soda carves is one that takes families into the sport without immersing them into high priced, high paced resorts that can be all too intimidating. The snow tubing is all about big smiles and tummy ticklers. Its got all the atmosphere of fresh snow, beautiful mountain scenery and an escape from all that is hectic below the tree line. Kids line up each and every weekend to enjoy.
