3 reviews for Buck's Lake
We took a little family vacation here and found it to be a great place to get away.
We stayed in a log cabin at Bucks Lake Lodge, rented a boat for the day and did a lot of hiking. We even headed over to the lodge and played some pool while we had a few drinks.
The lodge as well as the boat rental is very affordable compared to known vacation spots.
Maybe it was just the company but one of the best camping trips I've ever been on. It is secluded and beautiful nestled up on a mountain and surrounded by tons of trees. Big beautiful lake, a little chilly but totally worth taking the 40 minute drive up the mountain.
The park rangers weren't assholes, the spots are pretty far apart so no one complained about noise. Not too many people were really even there. Be sure to bring bug repellant though because there are tons of mosquitos.
There is a cool little bar/restaurant/gift shop up the road a ways that provided us some good times. We ate some yummy food at the restaurant and drank some damn good drinks there too. Highly recommended campgrounds. Good time for sure.
A simply beautiful place to go for a hike, boating, or a day at the beach. This is a "high sierra" lake it is at an elevation of 5,200 feet. When I show people pictures they think I've visited Lake Tahoe. I imagine it's very much like Lake Tahoe although I've never been there. Buck's Lake isn't very crowded, and it's quite clean and pristine. It is located 17 miles southwest of Quincy, past the small community of Meadow Valley. So go to Buck's Lake marina and rent a boat, enjoy a nice hike, or camp there for the weekend.
