Beautiful lake at 7,000 feet for swimming, kayaking, etc. There’s lots of hiking and mountain biking all around the lake and you can rent canoes, paddle boards and kayaks as well. You can rent mountain bikes from Bear Valley Adventure Sports for the day and they have a shuttle van to run you up to the top if you just want to ride down.
