Are you looking for something fun to do this summer in the Auburn area?

Photo - couple canoeing on Lake Clementine, Auburn, CA  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!  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.  For more information: Click here  for more information on Lake Clementine.
