So much amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Sierra Nevada, too pleasant to be true. If you want to hit the beach, Lester Beach is in the vicinity, and close by you find the Pacific Crest Trail - section 14 which is a wonderful hiking trail. Going for a hike on the Big Spring Trail is always a pleasant adventure, and since you're here you have to take a look at McKinney Bay. After a long day outdoors Meeks Bay Resort And Marina is a nice location to spend a night or two, and there's whitewater on Silver Creek - South Fork for all you adrenaline rush seekers.
This lake is so wonderful. There is a brilliant hiking trail near Quail Lake called the General Creek Trail, and Lake Louise is a great lake nearby. The annual rain here at Quail Lake is about average; the month of January is the wettest with most of the snow, and July is when it's the driest. If you have a thing about the outdoors, you'll fancy Quail Lake. Take a side visit to Blackwood Creek, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend American River - South Fork.
