Great lake, never heard of it till today. Wish I had known about it earlier this year, would love to take my kayak out there!
Great place to camp! My first time here! Large campsites. Starry nights.
A fantastic spot to be near some water when you dont want to deal with the crowds around Lake Tahoe. Tons of beach side spots around the reservoir, very quiet, lots of wildlife.
