This beautiful paddling destination is a water lover’s dream. There
are no words to describe this superb paddling
getaway, but I’ll give it a try. Fallen Leaf
Lake is a stunningly beautiful, clear, alpine
lake. When the water is very still and the water
is smooth, reflected images are cast onto the
lake’s surface.
Nestled among mountain tops overlooking the
southern side of the lake, Fallen Leaf Lake
is one of the prettiest paddling getaways in
the area. The water is a deep, dark blue and
the surrounding mountains, depending on the
season, are capped with snow and covered
with majestic pines. This fresh, glassy
water lake is perfect for paddling, whether
you are a novice or a more advanced paddler.
It offers a more intimate experience of
paddling than the nearby much larger Lake
Tahoe. It is usually sheltered from the
afternoon winds sweeping across the lake.
There are trails for hiking and a campground
for camping. Kayak fishing is among one of
the many recreational activities enjoyed at
Fallen Leaf Lake. 3- miles long and a
little under three-quarters of a mile wide,
the
 lake
has approximately 10 miles of shoreline to
troll for rainbow trout.This is one extraordinary paddling
destination you don’t want to miss out on!
