After crossing through soul-renewing high country meadows and forests, small, tranquil Sand Lake offers better swimming than fishing. It’s not stocked. You'll see why. It's a nice spot to have lunch and enjoy the backdrop.

A short trail connects to the pleasant lake via the Sand Ridge Trail or the Hole in the Ground Trail. Bikes and horses should be kept back from the fragile lakeshore. See Donner Summit Map.
