Swimming
Nothing sheds the summer heat like a dip in one of Nevada County’s many swimming areas that include lakes, reservoirs and rivers. Enjoy a refreshing dunk at Rollins Lake near Colfax, Scotts Flat Lake in Nevada City and Penn Valley’s Lake Englebright and Bullards Bar Reservoir. Swimming pleasures abound at the South Yuba River and the Scenic Grouse Lakes Area near Donner Summit. Also consider cooling off in Truckee’s Donner Lake, Prosser Reservoir and Stampede/Boca reservoir areas.
