About This Trail

Imported description

It's an easy place for a base camp. The little lake has a perfect swimming rock, a number of camp sites and a view across the American River Canyon. The lake is mostly fed by snow melt and has a brownish water at the end of the summer. There are other drinking water options within 1/2 mile.
