Blue Lakes, located 12 miles south of Highway 88 at Hope Valley, is a cluster of lakes operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Serving as water storage for downstream hydro-electric plants, the lakes offer boating, swimming, and fishing opportunities. With four main campgrounds and an expansion campground, Blue Lakes is accessible as soon as the road is cleared of snow in early summer. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of the area, spot wildflowers in the meadows, and observe a variety of bird species. Additionally, there are hiking trails around Upper Blue Lake and Granite Lake, as well as OHV routes for adventure enthusiasts.
