If you’re more of a water sports enthusiast, there are plenty of lakes to play in whether your joy is kayaking, jet skiing, fishing, or just lying on the sand and soaking up the sun. Summer days are a joy; but oh, those summer nights! Any day of the week there are countless opportunities for entertainment. You can catch a play at one of our three theaters, go to a concert at Center for the Arts or Miner’s Foundry, or just wander through downtown Nevada City and enjoy whichever live music act catches your fancy. Not to mention the many fairs, festivals, and farmers markets that occur weekly. AUTUMN Autumn in Nevada County is a spectacular sight to behold. With foliage that rivals that of New England, everywhere you turn is a new visual delight. The mild days and cool nights make exploring the towns a pleasure, and for a fun family treat, check out Bierwagen’s Pumpkin Patch and Harvest Festival which goes on every day in October. If art is your thing, try the Open Studios Art Tour & Sale, or step back in time at the KVMR Celtic Festival. To get into the Halloween spirit, take the Haunted Nevada City historical walking tour, or get a head start on your Christmas shopping at the Thanksgiving Weekend Art Faires. WINTER Winter in Nevada County is typically sunny and cold, and Grass Valley sits just low enough to get the lovely snow-capped mountain views without the inconvenience of shoveling. Nevada City, however, does get a small accumulation of snow occasionally which turns the darling town even more picturesque. It is only a 45-minute drive to Donner Summit, and another 15-30 minutes will take you to the Truckee-Lake Tahoe area with cross country skiing areas, many ski and snowboarding resorts, tubing and sledding areas, and great snowshoeing locations. If you prefer motorized sports, there are places to rent snowmobiles to explore the winter wonderland. Each year, Downtown Grass Valley hosts Cornish Christmas, Nevada City puts on Victorian Christmas, and Auburn has its own Christmas in the Pines. Stroll through the streets with old fashioned carolers in Victorian Garb, get some chestnuts right off the fire, and peruse the many items available for sale from our local artisans. SPRING Spring is a riot of color in Nevada County, with many varieties of wildflowers and redbud, dogwood, and fruit trees flowering everywhere you look. With mild 70-degree days, it’s the perfect season to visit Bridgeport at South Yuba State Park; the longest single-span wooden covered bridge still in existence in the US. While you’re there, hike the easy Buttermilk Bend Trail for a stunning view of the wildflowers, butterflies and South Yuba River. If nature’s not your thing, stay in town for the Foothills Celebration, an annual wine and art event, or St. Piran’s Day Celebration which features Grass Valley’s Cornish heritage.

Late June. Nevada County Visitors’ Guide 2015-2016 19 Wineries of Nevada County N orthern Sierra Wine Country is nestled in Nevada County’s mountains and valleys. Nevada County has more than 15 wineries each displaying great diversity in style. Climate, geography and wine-making talent have merged here in our community resulting in highly distinctive, top quality wines. Vineyards of the Northern Sierra Wine Country are planted at elevations between 1,300 and 2,600 feet. The region boasts over 60 miles of terrain between vineyards and, as a result, the grapes display a wide array of styles. With four distinct seasons, the vines thrive. The characteristic cold winters are in fact quite conducive, allowing vines to go dormant, rest and conserve energy for the coming season. In the summer, a combination of cool nights and warm days serves to balance grape acids and nurture high sugars, producing desirable wine-making fruit. Unusually high in the variety of vines being grown, Northern Sierra Wine Country boasts over 45 planted varietals. Many are familiar like Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, while others like Cabernet Franc, Barbera, Sangiovese and Tempranillo are growing in popularity and are a treat for those looking to expand their horizons. Nevada County offers expansive vineyards, charming tasting rooms, spectacular views, wine caves and picnic areas creating a great wine tourism experience. For more information on local wineries and events, visit: www. sierravintners.com. Brochures and wine touring maps are located at the local chambers of commerce or any tasting room.

The lake is 3 miles long and ¾ miles wide with a shoreline of 7 ½ of high alpine woods. The Donner Memorial State Park, on the east sgore, was named after the tragic Donner Party whose fate in the winter of 1846 attests to the hardships encountered by California’s early settlers. This well-maintained park has 150 developed campsites with campfire programs and nature trails. Inside of the Donner Memorial State Park there is an area locally known as Dog Beach that is dog friendly. Leashes are required while in the state park. • Boca Reservoir: In the Tahoe National Forest at an elevation of 5,700 feet. The Lake has a surface area of 980 acres with 14 miles of shoreline. Steep bluffs and low grassy areas amid tall pine trees make for a scenic setting. Many inlets and prevailing winds create a great atmosphere for sailing and boating. • Stampede Reservoir: At an elevation of 5,949 feet in the Tahoe National Forest, northeast of Truckee. Stampede has a surface area of 3,440 acres with 25 miles of sage and coniferous covered shoreline. This large, open lake has westerly winds for the sailor. Vast open waters can be enjoyed by the waterskier.
