There are several rafting companies in Coloma in addition to restaurants and resorts where whitewater enthusiasts gather. The region offers a full spectrum of opportunities in exploration for the whole family. Good access to the trails is available on the Foresthill Road out of Auburn, but watch for parking pull-outs. Reservoir north and east of Georgetown is a popular high-country lake in the summer. The lake has great access and several campgrounds, some on the water, and others on the surrounding National Forest land.
Fishing is generally great for trout and kokanee.
Stumpy Meadows, just a few miles out of Georgetown, offers fishing, camping, boating, and swimming. The country east of Georgetown gets rougher as you head toward Nevada. Eventually, even the rabbit trails run out at the boundary of one of two wilderness areas. The one to the north is Granite Chief Wilderness Area, and bordering that one on the south is Desolation Wilderness Area. Both have many trails that loop in and out of the wilderness, and some that access high-country lakes and streams.
