Do stop by Murphy Lake while you're in this part of California. This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Bailey Creek Cottages is a magnificent place to spend a night or two, and don't leave Murphy Lake without first going for a hike along the Yellow Creek Trail. And that's not all you can do here at Murphy Lake. A trip to Murphy Flat revitalizes the spirit; if you've had enough of Murphy Lake, Chips Lake is close by. Whohoo, so much amusing stuff

| | in one place! The Northern Sierra Nevada rules! If you need a place to stay Best Western Rose Quartz is a nice choice, needless to say you could also go to Oliver Lake since you're here; it's not far at all. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the Northern Sierra Nevada has to offer. Good hiking is available along the Carter Meadow Trail, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Feather River - North Fork. You'll need more than a day | |

Potato Patch Campground
 | 18 miles away We camp at Potato Patch campground annually with several other families. It is a very nice campground on a beautiful river. There is not a lot to do nearby though and it is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no showers. There are no hookups for RVs, but we tent camp anyway. We mostly play by the river (very cold water). Our attraction is the beauty and the people we camp with. We used to fish, but it is all catch and release. I can definitely recommend it but you have to be looking for a relaxing and beautiful setting and mostly doing not much of anything. ... |
