Visited on 2/18/2018 - Jeff and I took advantage a unusually warm weather we were having during the three day holiday weekend to take in the beauty of some lakes in the Mother Lode Gold Country Sierra Mountain foothills area. We loaded up the truck camper for a long weekend of camping and on our second day we traveled on a very long narrow Rock Creek Road several miles to find Salt Springs Reservoir near Copperopolis, California. Along the way we were only able to go about 5 miles per hour so we didn't shake the dishes out of the cabinets in the camper! Once we reached the top of the hill we made it to the lake. Salt Valley Spring Reservoir is a remote 975 acre artificial lake that was formed by the construction of Salt Springs Valley Dam across Rock Creek in the Bear Mountains of Calaveras County. This lake is located at 1,074 feet above sea level.
Rock Ridge Road is very narrow and extremely bumpy with lots of patches from many years of repairs. Not recommended for truck campers with glassware in the cabinets!
