If you want a fine time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Penner Lake. You'll meet a lot of people from Truckee-Grass Valley here, and soar down the rapids of Fordyce Creek in a kayak. This lake is so wonderful. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Yuba River - South Fork, and what would winter be without some skiing at Royal Gorge. Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more exciting things to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Bowman Mountain

right next door to Penner Lake, and dry warm beds await you at Deer Creek Inn. Lakes are tremendous; Crooked Lakes is a lake that's right next door to Penner Lake, and Penner Lake is near Poison Canyon which is positively worth checking
out. And if that's not sufficient there's loads more enjoyable stuff to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada. Very lovely scenery and pleasant skiing is what you get at Soda Springs; hey, South Fork Canyon Creek is a nice local stream.
There's so much to do here at Penner Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Lindsey Campground is a brilliant place for that, and there is a glorious hiking trail nearby called the Bowman Mountain Trail. During the summer months,
