There may be a "Rock Creek" or two in just about every state in the country, but only one is home to the highest paved road in California. Rock Creek Lake is one of the highest drive-to lakes in the Sierra Nevada. The 55-acre lake offers great fishing and views of the surrounding ridges of the High Sierra. It is also a great launch point for hikes to dozens of high-country lakes and streams. The upper reaches of the Little Lakes Valley above Rock Creek Lake are even home to California's state fish, the legendary golden trout.
