     So much exciting stuff to do at Lake Moran, so little time. Why not camp at Sand Flat Campground since you're here at Lake Moran, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Emigrant Trail. This lake is so wonderful. There are some fine whitewater spots on Stanislaus River - North Fork. Lake Moran is a beautiful lake in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
This lake is so wonderful. Nearby lakes? Sure, Blue Hole is near Lake Moran, and Bear Valley is a great local
 
   ski area. Lake Moran regularly gets much rain; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest of the months is July. If you need a location to stay The Meadow is a perfect choice, unsurprisingly you could also stop at Swamp Lake while you're here; it's not far at all.
You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the Northern Sierra Nevada has to offer. At Lake Moran you always meet someone from Phoenix Lake-Cedar
 
               Ridge, and Cottage Spring Campground is a great local campground. Having a great time in the Northern Sierra Nevada is painless. While you're here at Lake Moran it's a good idea to visit Cabbage Patch, and dry warm beds await you at The Mountain Club. All through the months of summer, highs ordinarily are in the 80's at Lake Moran with nighttime lows in the 50's. High temperatures through the winter are normally in the 50's with winter lows in the 30's overnight here at Lake Moran.
If you come at the right time of year, Mokelumne River - North Fork offers some magnificent whitewater, and the slopes of Dodge Ridge are so inviting noone can resist.
