- this adventure takes us to upper lake Clemintine near Auburn California. lake Clemintine trail to the dam is an awesome hike but above the dam is this amazing lake. approximately 3.5 or 4 miles one way this lake will not disappoint. it's rarely busy, I believe due to the rough road you have to take to get there. with very few beaches lining the lake it makes for an amazing paddle down to lower lake clementine; gives you the feeling your paddling in the middle of no where. the water is crystal clear and temperatures are perfect for swimming. $10 for parking or a state parks pass works too. the swimming is most popular by the parking lot area. Taylor's at the end of this video is approximately 20 minutes away from the ranger station.

Back in the 70’s & 80’s this was a hidden little paradise. It was so remote we used to camp & skinny-dip down there all the time. Now it’s packed solid all summer.
On the weekends the cars line up for 1/2 mile prior to the gate opening. Now you need reservations to go there on the weekend...CRAZY!
What time do you think I would need to get there? I have a reservation and it opens at 8 but not sure what time to line up for a good spot
Robbers Roost was where they would view people coming to town. It was a Lookout Point.
amazing.. the view is amazing. I really enjoyed it.. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, I don't love the dirt road especially when you have to share with another car but, it is soooo worth it. I really enjoyed kayaking there. So calm and pretty.
Hopefully some day they will pave the road. I love it here so much! Good vibes. Great escape
Fantastic video!! Thanks so much for all the great info. Well produced vids. Ya got us all fired up to take a SUP adventure to Upper Lake Clementine this weekend!😃🤙😎
Thank you! Awesome! It's such an amazing place to paddle. The water is so clear! Have fun 😊
Very cool. Good job!
Thanks! I love this place.
I love hiking there🥰🥰🥰
Me too and I plan on doing them all 🙂
Awesome Video!! Thankyou!! My girls & I loved it!!
Awesome! Thank you 😊😊
As much as I ride my motorcycle in that area I’ve never been!! Definitely gonna have to check it out in afew weeks!!
It's definitely a hidden gem.
Again, we always drive by Lake Clementine, yet have never gone. Great video, and I believe I could manage that drive. Anywhere where there is less people lol! Funny you went to Taylors. Never been there but just this past week we tried the GastroPub just across the street and I was like, "Oh, that's where Taylor's is...." Was delish!
Thanks! And yes about the crowds! With virtually no places to hang out on the side of the lake it helps cut down on crowds. Love this place. We've always wanted to try that pub place out.
Very cool adventure- I’m on it! Going to check it out soon and the raspberry chocolate shake too.
Nice! It's a great way to spend the day.
Very cool! I'll definitely have to check this out; thanks!
It's an awesome place! We always get there early 🙂
Use to go here when nobody knew this place but 4 people and no park rangers absolutely free, tadpoles galore and raspberries, my place of peace. For sure still love it no phone cool water. Fish around love it
Great video! Luv it.. keep ‘em coming 🤙🏽
Thank you very much and I will 😉
The Corry trail you had some wierd paranormal stuff..?
Please tell me about that here.
Hey, I did! Here is the film where I documented my experience and possibilities of what was going on that day.

Looks like fun! I tend to stop at Newcastle Produce on the way home from those remote Auburn destinations, but that variety of milkshakes sounds pretty good. 👍🏻
It's amazing the amount of milkshakes they can make! Taste pretty good after the lake clementine paddle.
This lake gets VERY busy during the summer. Party boats, campers, water skiers, picnickers, kids & floaty toys, fishermen. Most kayakers and canoeists avoid this place in Summer. We paddle from Lower Clementine the rest of the year. In Winter, its doesn't just "seem" remote - it is. If you paddle to the top in January, you are OUT THERE.
I've had people tell me this. I guess I've always lucked out🤔. I do always go during the weekdays and mornings. Always looks like it does in this video. Interesting. I'm sure one of these trips I'll see the crowds people are talking about 🙂.
You want a wicked road? Try driving to Yankee Jim's Bridge from I80.
I already did that drive. I'll never do it again 🤣. It's one of my first videos. That roads sketchy! I tried driving it fairly recently and turned around. Beautiful area though.
Not that bad lol, I do it in my Corolla all the time. When a big truck comes the other way though I get nervous haha,
Not busy...? Upper lake clementine gets so packed they close it due too capacity... gets trashed.
Hey, thanks for the videos, great channel. I'm in the rancho cordova area and I go to Auburn to hike quite a bit but I'm looking for a trail/trails that have water access with almost no foot traffic so I can go with my dog. Any ideas from Rancho to auburn to placerville etc if you have any out of the way spots that people wont most likely be at?
Thank you! Off the top of my head, Tamaroo Bar in the Auburn state recreation area. It's a bit of a hike but river access with very few people. I did a video hiking there, talking scary stories and hiking to Tamaroo bar; something like that. I'll think on it more...in the mean time here is the Tamaroo video link... th-cam.com/video/5gy9Ba02Qsc/w-d-xo.html
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle awesome! Thanks for the reply and suggestion, i'll deff check that out.
So when you say there’s barely no beaches is there areas where you can river camp? Or pull of to have lunch, or to hammock, or is everything mostly a climb?
There is a small campground there where you can also bring your boat. There are not a lot of places to get out of the river and hang out but there are a few; small areas. So if you were paddling you could definitely find a spot to pull over and have lunch or set up a hammock; there just arnt a lot of spots.
@@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle ok sweet. Thank you. Ima check it out at the end of the month. Thank you.
Hello, how can I put it on my navigation to go there? Thank you
Hello, put in Upper Lake Clementine Beach. Hope you have a great time 🙂
Tried to go today, was closed for the season. 😕
That's a bummer! I hope it opens soon. I wonder if it's covid related?
I’m a hiker but a beginner paddleboarder, is this a good one for beginners?
This spot is excellent for beginners! A lot of spots you can stand up in the water. If it's windy it can pose a small challenge in paddling against the wind. Great place. Check the weather, low to no wind is excellent 🙂
Hello. Is Auburn and clementine the same?
Lake Clementine is near the town of Auburn and Forest Hill
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Effective July 2024 !! Reservations Required !!
Has it helped?
Too many people but not a problem if everyone bring the trash back home.
