Sardine Lake Lodge at the north end of Lower Sardine Lake is a seasonal destination dining experience! The deckhouse cocktail bar on the lake gives one the feeling of being somewhere in the Swiss Alps. Then, going into the old log cabin for dinner cuisine is beyond excellent! Several other "lodge" type facilities are operated seasonally throughout the basin on the various lakes along the Gold Lakes Highway. By the way, Gold Lakes Highway is not plowed in the wintertime making an amazing snowmobile run for miles and great access into the back country. Rich in cultural history and natural resources, the Sierra Buttes/Gold Lake Basin area is a treasure of pristine lakes, ponds, and streams which drain to the North Fork of the Yuba River and on to the Central Sacramento Valley. The area is of key importance to state watershed and wildlife protection.
