👍👍 What an amazing view of this lake! Normally you would expect a lake to be at a lower elevation where you would climb down. But to see this beautiful gem of a place, we hiked for about 2 miles on rocks, boulders and uneven ground. The effort was totally worth it ! Very clear fresh water lake surround...

👍👍 In October the falls were pretty dried up so you can climb over and around the rocks to explore the other side of the mountain. The views from this hike were amazing and it's not a hard hike at all. I would rate it as easy because it's short with very rewarding views.

👍👍 Beautiful hike!! Pretty crowded but once you get to Eagle Lake it’s a lot less busy. Really beautiful views and so worth it - definitely hike to Eagle Lake at the very least, it’s a great spot for lunch

👍👍 My favorite place to glamp! RV spaces are fabulous and the river is amazing. Service is always great! We haven't had the need to rent a cottage but they look really cozy.

👍👍 It's a great place to take your dog or go for a hike with a friend! There are lots of trails/loops that go on for miles. There are part's of the trail that are shaded and there is access to Folsom lake! When I went in May there were lots of wildflowers!

👍👍 Fantastic hike. Was buggy at Round Lake in early a.m. Trail well maintained. Gorgeous lake and so much exploring. Water higher than I'm used to seeing. Was great to be back. Never enough of the hike thru Big Meadow. Jaw dropping in misty a.m.

👍👍 LOVE this place!!!! Such a nice little getaway during quarantine and with all these current circumstances... I would totally recommend coming here!
