Private lake with summer camps along it's edge. The only way to gain access if you are NOT a child going to summer camp, is to rent lodging at Camp Watanda. Check it out for a get-a-way. .

Small artificial lake that is only good during the summer months. You can only get here if you are at one of the summer camps that border the lake. There's no public access.

About Lake Vera
Nestled among the verdant hills of Nevada County, Lake Vera stands as a tranquil, albeit exclusive, destination. This small, artificial lake, primarily embraced by the borders of several summer camps, offers a serene getaway for those seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. During the warm months, its calm waters beckon with promises of leisurely days spent fishing, boating, or simply relaxing by the lakeside. One of the unique aspects of Lake Vera is its inaccessibility to the general public; this secluded gem can only be reached by securing accommodations at Camp Watanda. This exclusivity ensures that the lake remains a peaceful enclave, primarily experienced by campers and those fortunate enough to stay at the camp. While the limited access may be a drawback for some, it is precisely this feature that maintains Lake Vera's quiet charm – making it an ideal escape for those who manage to find their way to its shimmering shores.
