     The beauty of Rucker Lake attracts many people from all around. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the entertaining things in the Northern Sierra Nevada. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Soda Springs, and get drenched paddling on Fordyce Creek. Rucker Lake is right by the Spaulding Lake Trail, and whitewater paddling is good on Yuba River - South Fork. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Deer Creek  
   Inn is a great choice; Black Oak Spring is a pretty location to have a look at while you're at Rucker Lake.
The high level of rain makes Rucker Lake a pretty wet location; the month with most of the rain is January, and July on the other hand is the driest. The Northern Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful. But wait, there's more to do in close proximity to Rucker Lake. Take a hike on the Canyon Creek Trail, and if you came to camp Fuller Lake Campground
 
               is a fine place to do that.
That right there is lots of cool stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Sierra Nevada has it all. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Eagle Bird Trail; good skiing awaits you at Royal Gorge. Nearby lakes? Sure, Lake Spaulding is next to Rucker Lake, and camping at Lake Spaulding Campground is always a perfect experience. Just can't get enough of Rucker Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. You could also stop at Fuller Lake if you're here at Rucker Lake; it's close by; the fine folks of Truckee-Grass Valley like to hang out close by.
