Lake Spaulding - Nevada County, California

 
Visited on 7/9/2017 – Picture taken on a weekend camping trip in our Truck Camper with Jeff and our dogs, Summer and Skye up to Truckee area of Northern California.  Lake Spaulding rests at an elevation of 5,014 feet in a glacier carved bowl of granite.  The lake has a surface area of 698 acres surrounded by giant rocks and a thick pine forest.  The lake was originally built for hydraulic mining in 1912, but today campers and boaters enjoy this beautiful lake.  PG&E operates the boat launch and the nearby campground and overnight camping in the lot.  We plan to come back soon and spend a night or two enjoying this beautiful scenic lake.
