This lake is so wonderful. The vista of Three Sisters Mountain from Ricketts Lake is charming, and don't leave Ricketts Lake without first going for a hike along the Whitly Gap Trail. So many enjoyable things in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just fantastic. Whitewater paddling is fine on Yahoola Creek, and the scenery at Ricketts Lake Dam is pretty.
Summertime highs at Ricketts Lake usually tend to be in the 80's, and the overnight is a little cooler of course, mostly in the 60's. Highs during the wintertime are commonly in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 20's to Ricketts Lake. Any time is a magnificent time at Ricketts Lake if you have a thing about the outdoors. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Ricketts Lake has to offer, you can camp at Cedar House Yurt Cabins, and unsurprisingly Left Fork Cavenders Creek is a pretty stream that is worth going to.
