More Lake Faucherie Photos

by Sherri on July 24, 2007

Our annual camp out is coming up. We have decided to return to Lake Faucherie in the Sierras, where Jeff & I did a "scouting" trip last summer and took a few pics. This time we plan to spend a few days in the area and bring back several memory cards full of photos. A few of our friends will join us for another great time of adventure, laughter, eating, drinking, relaxing and more. Here are some pics from our scouting trip last year.  sherri-faucherie.jpg Photo - Sherri at one of the many beautiful waterfalls at Faucherie jc-faucherie2.jpg Photo - Jeff & Cocoa heading back toward the lake  sc-faucherie.jpg Photo - Sherri & Cocoa enjoy the pool below the waterfall featured in the photo above We will be adding many images from our upcoming trip to our galleries later this summer. Check back often to see what's new and what's coming soon!
jc-faucherie.jpg  Photo - Jeff and Cocoa kayaking Lake Faucherie, Sierras, CA  Last week we added a few new Kayaking Stock Photos to our kayaking gallery. The photo above is one of them. My husband and our dog are kayaking on "Dog Friendly" Lake Faucherie, a beautiful, serene lake in the Sierras. Most people we talk to can't believe that we can actually fit our 80 lb. Aussie/Chocolate Lab dog in our boat with us, much less paddle. It's not easy,but it can be done as you can see here in this photo. I took a series of the two of them and this is one of my favorites. This photo is available for purchase in our Kayaking Stock Photo Gallery.

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. The image above is available for purchase as a fine art print, or for licensing as a high-resolution, rights-managed image in our Auburn Stock Photo Gallery. Check back often to see what's new. We will be adding new Auburn images on a regular basis, as well as more blog posts on recreating in the Auburn area. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions about Lake Clementine.

Auburn, California, a travel destination?

by Sherri on January 18, 2007

bobby-john.jpg 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.  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. To see more of our Auburn, California images, please visit our Auburn Gallery.
