Jenkinson Lake

Who Knew?  Well, Alan knew.  He had camped at Jenkinson Lake years ago with David.

The Eldorado Irrigation District maintains a couple of Sierra Lakes with camping...and one of them, Jenkinson Lake is just off Highway 50!  So rather than go on to Wright's Lake we thought a day or so at Jenkinson Lake (near Pollock Pines) would give us a chance to catch our breath, do laundry, and sit in the sun.

We were one of the few campers at the Lake and got a lake front site.  Jenkinson Lake Park supports a variety of recreation, including boating, swimming, paddle boarding, fishing, kayaking, and mountain bike riding (including full moon rides!).  The water was warm enough for the water skiers to be without wetsuits!!

We visited the Forest Service Office to discuss plans for our backpacking trip and enjoyed a few lazy days.
