Things To Do
Lakes Basin
Some of the best hiking in the Sierras — all within a short drive of Graeagle. Lakes Basin Trail A scenic trail with multiple routes to choose from. You'll find alpine lakes, granite peaks, and sweeping views — whether you're in the mood for a light stroll or a longer trek. Grassy Lake Loop This peaceful loop winds through forest and meadow before landing at Grassy Lake. A great option for a mid-morning hike with lots of fresh air and wildflowers. Sardine Lakes A further drive, but a short and stunning hike that leads to the crystal-clear waters of the Sardine Lakes, framed by the dramatic Sierra Buttes. Great spot for a picnic or an easy afternoon outing.
Greenhorn Ranch
An easy drive from town, Greenhorn Ranch is an all-in-one outdoor playground. You don’t have to be staying at the ranch to book these activities. E-Bike Tours Explore the surrounding trails on a 1–2 hour guided e-bike ride. It’s a smooth, scenic way to cover some ground — and way more fun than a treadmill. Horseback Riding Saddle up for a trail ride through the forest. Rides are beginner-friendly and offer a peaceful, slow-paced way to enjoy the landscape. Shooting Sports Test your aim with archery or clay shooting. Whether you're a total novice or a seasoned shot, it's a fun and memorable experience.
Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club
Swanky, peaceful, and often quiet. It’s the most upscale of the courses and perfect if you want something a little more refined.
Nakoma Golf Course
Formerly known as “The Dragon,” this course is jaw-droppingly beautiful — and seriously tough. Best for experienced golfers looking for a challenge.
Plumas Pines Golf Course
Scenic, tight, and right along the river. Easy to love — and even easier now with some recent upgrades to food and drink.
Nakoma Resort
This modern mountain lodge isn’t just for golfers. Swing by for a meal at the restaurant, cocktails on the deck, or a dip in the pool. With stunning views and Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired architecture, it’s a great spot to relax and take in the scenery — no tee time required.
