Haven't been here yet. My parents live in grass valley and I've taken I to Collins (there not a fan of no baffles) but they said bullards is a better lake. We're going to make a trip in august

Post by: nordic_scandia on June 24, 2015, 07:03:04 PM
Well let me know what weekend and I'll be out there, it's my favorite spot as far as grass valley area, I was born in grass valley but live in Reno now. And bullards is free to launch too so that's nice. Rollins lake , engilbright and Scott's flat charge $15-$20 and they are not even close to as nice as bullards

I was actually planning a trip in a couple weeks to take my 7 year old daughter there and see the aquarium. She would be so stoked on that place. Guess if you live there you don't really go to the big attractions like that, just like Reno..I don't go to the casinos or gamble but it's all over, plus my boat takes all my money haha

I know what you mean by the end of the trip I was done saying  sorry for someone else running in to me. I just kinda barked right about the time they were going to run into me. It got there attention real fast.

Lincoln here!  About 30 minutes North East of Sacramento and 20 minutes from Auburn.  Camp Far West is in my backyard.

Bullards is nice.  Havent been in a few years.  My bro in law went a couple weeks ago and said it was awesome.
Collins, always thought it was a no no for us jet boaters to go there because of the noise.
Oh man, haven't been in Englebright in seriously 20 years.  Just remember it being a lake you have to have a boat to go find a camp spot with and it was a long, semi narrow river type of lake. 
Rollins we normally go to later in the summer when water levels get low.  Nice, yet kinda small mountain lake.
We used to camp the crap out of Sly Creek Resevoir(not Sly Park), wonder what it is like these days.

NOR CAL!!!

LOL.  I do remember Englebright being SUPER cold. 

I mainly hit up Camp Far West since I am in Lincoln.  About a 10-15 minute drive for me.  Do Rollins later in the year if the water level is ok.

Friend of mine drove past Shasta last weekend and said it was REALLY low.

Going to try and sneak off to Camp Far West this weekend for a short visit.  Just to get my intake of the sound of horsepower.

If you guys like hotboats and never been to CFW, then I highly recommend it.  Not the biggest lake, not the best lake, not the prettiest lake, but MAN they get some badass boats out there.  It is basically the mecca of hot boating in Norcal.
