Photo – couple canoeing on Lake Clementine, Auburn, CAÂ
Try paddling Lake Clementine. It’s great for canoeing and kayaking. It’s mostly flatwater, with a few rapids at the upper end where the North Fork of the American River flows into the lake. The water is very warm during the summer months and there are several sandy beaches along the shoreline. So, pack a picnic lunch, load up the boats and head for one of the best paddling lakes in the area!Â
Getting There:
Lake Clementine is located off the Auburn-Foresthill Road, approximately two miles from Auburn. From I-80 in Auburn, exit at Foresthill, drive 3.5 miles on Foresthill Road, turn left onto Lake Clementine Road. It’s about 2 miles down to the boat dock, via a paved road. You can also access the lake at the upper end, by driving a little further up on Foresthill Road, turning left and driving about 2 miles, via a dirt road. The dirt road is bumpy in places, but most vehicles can make it just fine.  I prefer to enter the lake from the upper end. This way you avoid most of the speed boats and it’s by far the prettiest part of the lake.Â

Photo – Couple canoeing Lake Clementine, CA
lt all depends on who you are. A friend and former resident of Auburn doesn’t think so. He, like so many others stop here on their way to Reno or Lake Tahoe.Â
But, if you are a mountain biker, runner, hiker, kayaker, canoeist, dog owner, equestrian, history buff, gold prospector, antique collector or an endurance participant (and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things), then Auburn just may very well be “a travel destination.”
Auburn is now known as “The Endurance Capital of the World,” as it is home to numerous endurance races. These events such as The Western States 100 and The Tevis Cup are attracting more and more visitors each year. And with the increasing popularity of Auburn, there is more demand for stock photos of the area.
