If you're hiking, there is a trailhead near a VERY popular swimming hole called Emerald Pools. If folks don't like it crowded, don't go in the Summer during peak hours and try to go early. If you're going in the Summer, there WILL be people there. That's just how it is. The road is pretty easy to take down - you don't need a 4WD vehicle during the Summer. During colder months, you might. My friend and I had a great time, but we got there at 6:30am and had the whole spot to ourselves until 8am. There were a lot of bugs, so bring bug spray with you. We thought with a dry heat, there wouldn't be so many bugs, but we always carry bug spray just in case.

The road is one lane but is two way down to the lake, luckily on this mild mid-week day I didn't have to worry about oncoming cars. The parking lot for day use is huge and there are several picnic tables for day use. You can smell the campfire from the nearby campground and hear the faint joyful voices of young kids. It was quiet and enjoyable to hear the chirping birds and lapping of the waters on the shore. The water was clear and calm on this early morning.

This creek flows into the Yuba River, which we did not go to this late in June because all the snow is melting and creating a lot of cold rushing water there.

.....I definitely underestimated the hike, lol…read more The hike to the fire lookout is about 2.5 miles one way, BUT the incline throughout most of the trail makes the hike a bit of a calves-burner. I'm not a seasoned hiker and I had to take multiple breaks, so much that I took like a 2 min break at each switcheroo point on the switchbacks right before the fire lookout lol (yeah there's even a set of unfriendly switchbacks here on top of the steady incline, hooray). Took me about 2 hours to arrive at the lookout lol but man oh man are the views gorgeous up there. I went on a windy day and I still felt safe climbing the stairs up to the actual lookout; the whole structure is pretty sturdy. Overall I would classify this hike as moderate-hard for people who don't hike often. Wouldn't say that this hike is very dangerous; just wear good shoes as there is a lot of loose gravel on the switchbacks and a couple of times I slipped when going back down towards the parking area. Would I ever do this hike again? Eh, to be honest probably not lol not because the hike itself but because of the long winding highway getting here. Very pretty trees throughout the 49 highway especially during autumn, but 1.5+ hours of driving on this highway (drove through Auburn) was a little too much for me. I definitely don't regret doing this whole adventure though. Google Maps "Sierra Buttes Trailhead" and the directions shown will lead you straight to the parking area/hiking trail entrance.

Quick tip...like most lakes or reservoirs the area the beach and water is rocky....bring appropriate water shoes. Lots of wood around for your fire, no need to buy any. It's cold early in the AM but gets nice and hot so bring sweatshirt for early morning or you will regret it. Sunscreen....you will burn easier in higher altitude. Stay hydrated with water and bring lotion if you are prone to dry skin.
