Grace and Nora Lakes

Join trip leader David Garza for a half day trip to two under-visited locations located a short 1.5-mile drive south of Shingletown. Grace and Nora Lakes are owned and managed by PG&E and access is allowed for recreational use. The water levels are low lately, but we anticipate some waterfowl, forest passerines and woodpeckers around the lakes in the immediate vicinity. The terrain is flat and the hiking is easy. Meet at the gravel parking lot on the west side of Park Marina Drive/Kutras Lake at 5:30 am to carpool/caravan or meet at Grace Lake at 6:30am. You can reach Grace Lake by taking Wilson Hill Road south from Shingletown for approximately 0.9 miles, then turning east on Manton-Ponderosa Way (gravel surfaced) for 2/3 of a mile to Grace Lake. We will hike to Nora Lake and environs from there. The terrain is flat and the hike is easy.
