Goose Lake - Sierra County, California



Visited on 8/19/2018, Jeff and I loaded up the truck camper and the boat and headed up to Lake Davis along with our water-loving chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye for a weekend of camping and boating for the weekend.  On our way home we stopped by the Lakes Basin Recreational Area and stopped at Goose Lake on Sunday afternoon.  Goose Lake is one of the smaller lakes at 38 acres, and is a glacial lake located in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area.  There are over 20 small glacial formed subalpine lakes in this area of the Sierra Mountains.  Goose Lake is at an elevation of 6,522 feet above sea level in the Plumas National Forest.  We found a fantastic little campground with very inexpensive camp sites at only $10 per night, right up against the water.  Camp spot #5 was our favorite, but we will need to come back when we don't have the boat attached because it will take some maneuvering to get the camper in there.

Visited on 8/30/2018 - 9/3/2018, for my birthday weekend we decided to visit Goose Lake and do some hiking and camp at the very affordable and beautiful campground on the shoreline in campsite #5.  We loaded up the truck camper and the kayak on the Jeep and headed up for a great weekend.  We did several hikes and visited several lakes in the area.

  3. Goose lake is very small in size and we kayaked the whole lake. Many of the areas are very shallow, but we did see fish jumping while at this beautiful lake. The lake is only 28 surface acres and we did not see any fisherman while we were at that lake.
