Lake Spaulding rests in the Lake Tahoe region where its surrounded by the High Sierra's and incredible views. The lake is bordered by a thick forest of conifers and exposed granite rock slopes. Keep a lookout for osprey, they populate the area and nest in the trees. Primitive camping is permitted, but a fire permit is required. There are also designated lakeside camp sites most of which are located along the north end of the lake. Here are a few things to keep in mind and watch out for: Strong winds build later on in the afternoon, which can make crossing the lake especially difficult. Strong wind gusts are also common and have been known to be strong enough to create whitecaps. Releases of water with little or no warning can occur by the power house on the west side of the lake. During summer months water levels are lower and rock exposure is prevalent.
