Lake Clementine Trail

A panoramic hike along the North Fork American River.

This easy trail is ideal for a panoramic hike along the North Fork American River, much of it is in the shade of conifers and oaks and in close proximity to riparian flora and chaparral. Several side trails lead down to the river, the last one descending to a deep pool beneath the North Fork Dam where spectacular views of water cascading over the dam can be seen.
