Summer in Sight

Our lakes are a bit slow to warm up but once they do, you might find it hard to get out of the water. You’ll also find a huge selection of things that are great for getting wavy. Jet skis, sailboats, kayaks, you name it. If it floats, the odds that you can rent one are pretty darn good.

So gear up for a challenging hike or an afternoon of off-roading. Plant your buns on a blanket and break out the picnic basket. Round up the team for a few rounds of disc golf. Soak it all in because summer is pretty sweet around these parts.

Go 
all the way to the top
with a sense of adventure
for the memories
in style
out of your comfort zone

Winter Wonderland

Sub-zero temperatures are no reason to stay indoors. Not when you can still soak up mother nature’s glory up on the slopes or out in the parks. This place is perfect for people who like to push things to the limit but it’s also a great time for families. With hundreds of hotels and vacation homes just waiting to be booked, you can even make a whole weekend of it!

Vehicles traveling in Greater Shaver Lake during winter months are advised to carry chains at all times.

You must stop and put on chains when highway signs indicate chains are required. Drivers failing to observe the chain controls will be required to stop their vehicles and chain up or you can be cited by the California Highway Patrol and fined if you don’t. If you do not have your chains with you, you will not be able to continue your trip. When you’re installing your chains, pull well off the roadway onto the shoulder of the road.

Do not stop in the traffic lanes to install or adjust your chains.
