Winnemucca Lake

Lake

👍👍 Gorgeous winter snowshoe hike. 6.5 miles round trip making a loop by Woods Lake. Saw a few other snowshoers and skiers and they were continuing on towards round top. Not sure I’d try that in the winter. No trails after a snow, so GPS is needed to stay on trail. Beautiful hike and we lucked out with...

Serene Lakes

Lake

😠 RACIST community, especially the Serene Lake Home Owners Association! If you plan on renting a cabin here and take your family to the Southward- facing Dulzura part of Serene Lake, DON’T! In fact, don’t rent here at all if you’re not white. My family rented a cabin here and took our kids to have...

It was round trip 12.5 miles and took roughly 5.5 hours. It was very difficult once you got within .75 miles to Cleo's bath. Be prepared an...

👍👍 I can't believe this place exist in San Francisco. Free parking, dense and big trees provide lots of shade. The park is beautiful and well maintained.

Shaver Lake

👍👍 This is my 5th time visiting this place, but the scenery never gets old. It still amazes me every time. Me and my friends stayed in a cabin for 2 days and we had so much fun. Will be coming back for sure. PS. We went there Dec. 18-20 and it was already snowing.

Union Valley Reservoir

Lake

👍👍 I'll start with a trick of the trade. After turning up icehouse road off hwy 50, on yer way up the hill there's a U.S. Forest information center. They have free maps of the entire area. Also, they usually have up to date info on which campgrounds have availability (if you don't have a reserved site)...
