     I can't stop, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Skelton Lake. The best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of nearby June Mountain, and lakes are such calm locations, why not stop by Red Lake. During the warm days of summer at Skelton Lake temperatures are generally in the 70's. Summer night lows plunge down to the 40's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Skelton Lake are in the 20's. Cold Water Campground is  
   a magnificent local campground, and there is a good hiking trail nearby called the John Muir Trail - section 2.
This lake is so wonderful. The vistas at Devils Postpile National Monument will blow your mind, and San Joaquin River - South Fork has a good whitewater paddling spot close by. Now, you may imagine that's plenty but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here at Skelton Lake. This location, the Central Sierra Nevada, has so much outdoors entertaining
 
               things. For you golfers we recommend nearby Snowcreek Golf Course, and if you don't mind getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Mono Creek.
