Located within walking distance from the cottage are scenic trails and fire roads with endless views for hiking and mountain biking. Or drive ten minutes down to Calaveras Big Trees State Park for hiking and cross-country skiing. Great swimming at White Pines Lake in Arnold. Bring your canoe or kayak and paddle the crystal clear Utica, Spicer, and Alpine lakes. Bear Valley Ski Resort and Bear Valley Cross Country Ski Resort are just 20 minutes up the hill on Highway 4. The Cottage is 5 miles up from the main town of Arnold where there is grocery shopping, gas stations, banks, etc. Murphys is 30 minutes away - a gold rush town known for its excellent wineries, great restaurants, boutique shops, and antique shops.

The Stanislaus River is approximately five miles down the road. The day-use area has picnic tables, and barbecues and provides easy access to the river. Excellent place to have a picnic, fly fish or cool off with a nice swim.
