Briefly about the general area:
Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend American River - South Fork, and Poison
Hole Trail is pleasant enough to spend more than a day at, Wentworth Springs Campground is a pleasant local campground. If only every place had this much outdoors amusing stuff, what a great globe it would be.
Cheese Camp Creek flows through this neighborhood, and there are
some great whitewater spots on Silver Creek - South Fork. All year is a pleasant time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you adore the outdoors. Don’t forget to check out Long Meadow if you're here at Poison Hole Trail, and camping at Pleasant Boat-In Campground is always a perfect
experience. There's some flowing water nearby, Rocky Basin Creek is a stream you can check out while you're here; a great place like Poison Hole here at Poison Hole Trail is too magnificent to miss.
