You Will Love Your Shaver Lake Camping Experience

By Beryl Dalton


Shaver Lake camping grounds are much bigger than what they appear to be. Those that have already been there suggest that taking a bicycle as well as a map could be a good idea. It is a very relaxing and well kept and clean place to spend a few well earned days. The personnel are friendly and try to ensure that everyone enjoys their stay.

The majority of the water is used to supply the hydroelectric plants where they provide power to Los Angeles. The Big Creek Project generates close to four billion kilowatt hours per year and it also helps with the irrigation and flood controls for the large and flat valleys. These can stretch about four hundred and fifty miles wide. The river system has a nickname of "the hardest working water in the world" as there is a vertical drop of just less than two thousand meters.

For the fisherman there is a large variety of fish that can be caught. The rainbow trout, Kokannee salmon as well as catfish and bluegills are abundant. Many people come from far and wide for the fishing and it is open year round.

There was once a railroad that operated and was a standard gauge track. It is estimated that sixty percent of all lines around the world are made from this gauge. Its main purpose was to move wood that had been cut down to sawmills and lumber yards. It was eventually abandoned in 1927 after been in use for thirty six years.

They are open all year and the average amount per night is $39. They can however range from $30 - $48 depending on the amount of people and camping units used. For a group of people the rates can be from $150 to $375 per night.

The Pacific Crest hiking trail is truly breathtaking. It is not for the unfit as it is about four thousand kilometers long over rocky terrain. Many even use this trail for horse riding. The route goes through seven national parks as well as twenty five national forests which leave many awestruck at its beauty. There is also a bicycle route that runs parallel to the hiking trail and these come together about twenty seven times along the route.

The diehard hikers actually make this distance in a single trip. It does however take considerable planning as well as dedication to complete it. It is thought that out of the three hundred that begin this trail yearly only about one hundred and eighty actually complete it. A certain amount of miles need to be completed each day so as to ensure they do not get trapped by the snow. There are many little towns that they will pass through where they are able to restock their supplies.

At the camping grounds, there is a tents only area where one can either be on the water front or inland. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash at all times. There is also a clean bathhouse with coin operated showers, which you can also make use of.
