Lake Clementine via Clementine Trail in Auburn State Recreation Area

The Clementine Trail, winding through the Auburn State Recreation Area, offers an enjoyable journey with picturesque views of both the American River and the surrounding terrain. Hikers will pass beneath the towering Foresthill Bridge, the tallest bridge in California, and be treated to dramatic vistas of the water below and the nearby North Fork Dam, with opportunities for photos, especially as the dam cascades into a pool below. The shaded trail, flanked by oak and conifer trees, provides ample breaks from the sun, though some rocky sections require sturdy footwear. #Hiking #Lake #Forest #Nature #River #Dam
