Jenkinson Lake Trail 9 miles intermediate
This is a cool hike because the trail goes all the way around the lake.
The trailhead is at the end of the second dam.
Turn left just past the second dam into the visitor parking area.
Estimated time to trailhead 11:00am.
We'll start out along the south shore as we head toward Park Creek, where we’ll take a side trail to the bottom of the waterfall and stop for a short break and to reconvene.
We'll continue until about 1pm, then stop for lunch near one of the restrooms and picnic areas.
This is a moderate level hike due to the distance.
Distance: ~9 miles
Duration: 4–5 hours of hiking plus an hour for lunch
Dogs on leash, please clean up after.
Dogs are NOT allowed in the lake because it is a drinking reservoir.
Directions to Sly Park (Jenkinson Lake):
Hwy 50 to Pollock Pines (about 1 hour from Sacramento)
Exit Sly Park Road - Right on Sly Park Road for about 5 miles, past the resort entrance.
Left on Mormon Immigrant Trail, go about a mile and look for off-road parking immediately after the second dam.

Larry CrabtreeThe first part, up to the waterfall was wonderful. The last part was not quite as wonderful. I would have preferred to have not had to hike along the road (although that was a relatively short portion) or throught the campsites / campgrounds (and this was relatively short also). However, on a posative note, we did get a chance to 'scope out' some campsites that we're going to have to look into using in the future. Not quite the best hike, so I rated it down just a little. All-in-all, it was a really, really good hike, thanks Shannon!
