Love visiting here, not only is it beautiful out here with plenty of outdoor activities to do, but it was where my daughter caught her first fish.

This lake is absolutely beautiful!!!! There is a rim before you get to it on the left side so make sure to check it out🩵🫶🏼. There’s a little store to shop goodies, food, boat/ kayak rentals . I recommend to be there super early!! And be prepared to walk lol

Getting too crowded during the summer. Always a fun place to escape the heat in the valley. I notice alot of california plates. Unfortunately it looks they are not just visiting, hopefully they return back to CA before they ruin our beautiful state, like they did to CA.
