Visited on 3/24/2018 while Jeff and I along with our two dogs, Summer and Skye took a Saturday drive from our Ranch over to Napa Valley. In order to locate this remote lake we had to drive down a winery driveway to a residence and vineyard to access the muddy pathway to the lake. Duvall Lake is located at an elevation of 1,615 feet above sea level in Pope Valley, east of the Napa Valley. It is a small lake, which only covers 17 acres and was completed in 1940.
The ranch was settled in the late 1860s by the
Duvall family who came to California by covered wagon. During the construction
of the lake, the owner of the ranch was Donald Duvall, but it was sold in the
late 1950s.
On our way to find Lake Duvall we drove through Pope Valley and were welcomed to this beautiful site of yellow mustard plant, which grows wild and in abundance in Northern California.
