This lake is the good trout fishing all the time. Try power bait or a worm and a marshmellow green or yellow.

    Mosquito Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. A pleasant spree to Pacific Valley is a nice way to spend an afternoon; you can go for a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail - section 13. There's so much to do here at Mosquito Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Mosquito Lakes Campground is a good spot for that, and from Mosquito Lake you acquire a glorious sight of Pacific Grade Summit.
The high level of rainfall makes
 
   Mosquito Lake a reasonably wet place; January is when you get the most snow here while July is ordinarily the driest month. At Mosquito Lake during the days of summer highs are in the 70's while overnight lows are commonly in the 40's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's, and after the sun is down all through the wintertime temperatures at Mosquito Lake fall into the 10's. This is such a fun lake. If you came to camp Pacific Valley Campground is a nice  
               place to do that, and in case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Mokelumne River - North Fork.
So much fun stuff to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada, too glorious to be true. Deer Creek flows through this region, and tremendous skiing awaits you at Bear Valley. So much entertaining stuff to do at Mosquito Lake, so little time. Marshall Canyon is a delightful place to go to nearby, and glorious hiking is available along the Charity Valley Trail. Mosquito Lake is located in the Northern Sierra Nevada.
This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is delightful on Stanislaus River - Middle Fork, and going for a hike on the Emigrant Trail is always a nice adventure. Man, is there a load of amusing things to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Kirkwood; if you need a location to stay Harvest Inn-St Helena, Napa Valley is a magnificent choice.

Clark Fork Campground

The Clark Fork Campground has a number of nice sites. Most of the campers have trailers or RVs. The campground has pit toilets that are clean and relatively pleasant. There is a shower facility--bring plenty of quarters for your shower. The fishing in the Clark Fork River is good. The Forest Service plants trout every week. There are plenty of nice side creeks such as Cloudburst and Arnot that are good fishing too. The hike up the trail along the upper Clark Fork to the waterfall is a very nice hike. You will enjoy Clark Fork campground. My family for three generations and over 50 years has been camping here....

Sand Flat Campground
13 miles away
Went there for the first time. It's definitely on the 'go back again' list. The road down is pretty rough. My explorer handled it with zero problem. I ran it in 2wd mode on the way back up just to make sure that a normal car could make it. The key to the road, known to the locals as 'Wolfboro road' is to take it very slow. Shift into low, and just let gravity lead you into camp. When I went, there were 2 'crossings' where you had to go into water. The water is not deep, just don't go plowing through and you'll be fine. On my way out, I was met with a Mitsubishi sedan making his way down. He was doing fine, although he was having to keep his speeds below 5mph...

A Heavenly vacation is all about choices. With more recreation and entertainment options than any other winter resort destination vying for your attention, you've got plenty of decisions to make.

Do you ski California or Nevada? Do you want jaw-dropping views of incredibly-blue Lake Tahoe, or the stark contrast of the high Nevada desert below? Will it be 34 miles of wide-open, groomed cruisers, 1,600-foot plunges in the double-black canyons or the most outrageous tree skiing in North America? Is it the 80-foot jumps in High Roller Terrain Park, or a thrill ride on the 3,300-foot-long Heavenly Flyer, the longest zip line in the continental U. S. ?

And when the sun goes down, there's a veritable Pandora's Box of choices and temptations. On-mountain exhilaration yields to après ecstasy in the form of Vegas-style action, all-night dance clubs, world-class entertainment and five-star dining.

So what do you choose? Mother Nature? Lady Luck? Or something in between?

Heavenly will test your decision-making like no other winter destination- choo...
