Lake Clementine Trail

We were very pleased with the trail to Lake Clementine. The trail has lots of shade and a few full sun spots. The trail is 1.7 miles to the lake with small inclines, with beautiful views.

Beautiful trail! Perfect for a hike. About 5 miles round trip. It does have some elevation that could be tough for some. I would say it's Moderate in difficulty.

Nice hike, mostly shaded, beautiful views. Fairly easy trail but with some semi-steep grades.

This trail was well traveled by a lot of people. The first portion of the trail was fairly easy as it was mostly flat. The further you traveled, the more of an incline there is. The last 1/4 of the trail is more downhill until you get to the waterfall. It’s absolutely gorgeous and a nice area to view. I always recommend getting to Auburn by 8 at the latest as parking fills up quickly. Because there is more street parking than some of the other trails, you can expect this trail to contain more people. Parking is $10 and they do have Rangers patrolling and handing out tickets. On the opposite side of the Clementine trail, there is a similar trail with beach access as you will see in the images below

An excellent hike, around 4.8 miles roundtrip. I would definitely wear hiking boots and not regular sneakers like I did, unless your sneakers have ankle support. I rolled my ankle three times due to the uneven and at times rocky terrain.
