Lake Clementine Dam & Boat Launch

Lake Clementine is a wonderful place to spend the day with the family. There are restrooms and a beach for those who want to use this as a picnic and play area.
Boating and fishing are also good uses for this area and hiking trails abound. Be careful of rattlesnakes as they abound in these areas.

The lake is really a wide spot, behind the dam, on the American River. Steep canyon walls give lots of shade. Photos of the boat ramp. The access is very narrow and the switchbacks are very tight. There are pit toilets and no picnic or playground area visible from the boat ramp. Dogs are prohibited, even in your boat. Very close to Auburn.

Awesome! 🤩
A very beautiful and breathtaking place.🤠🫶
A large lake, a waterfall, a beautiful meandering river, a rocky shore, hills and a stunning sunset make this place incredibly romantic.🌊🏞⛰🌅🥰
You can take many beautiful photos, fly a drone, go down to the river, ride a boat and many other things you can think of.🤳🚁🚤

We walked at sunset and enjoyed the beauty and scenery of this beautiful place.☀️🌅👫
A place you want to return to)😇🥰
Highly recommended 👍

One of the most amusing dams I’ve been at. This dam is simple yet such a beautiful place. With it being not that far from the city yet far enough to get quite, it because an ideal recasting place for those who have a busy schedule. Walking up to the dam can be done in two ways. Either you can drive up or take the more exhilarating path through the hiking trail. Walking through, jogging through, or biking through. There’s enough to see for all. Bring you camera out, cause there is lots to capture. My first time I brought a drone. To capture the scenes that my eye cannot from above.

Take a quiet walk with Mother Nature. It will nurture your mind, body, and soul... But be careful! Rocks are very slippery 🙈
