Spooner Lake is located approximately 7 miles above Carson City on highway 50 just past the summit.

Turn right onto highway 28. The entrance to Spooner State Park is about 1 mile away.

The walk is 2 miles; flat and level around the lake. 

This is a lovely walk with wildflowers, pine trees and the beautiful lake. We can converse in both French and English.

After the walk we will have a picnic under pine trees with a mountain breeze.
