A bucket list of mine is to travel, document & photograph nearly 750 of the largest lakes in the State of California with a minimum of 50 surface acres. My husband, Jeff, our two water loving Chocolate Labradors, Summer & Skye joined me on several of these trips. This blog includes pictures I have taken & information I have gathered: size, elevation and any other unique facts. Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment along the journey & watch my blog for new lakes I have visited.

Lower Bear River Reservoir - Amador County, California
Visited 7/29/2017 - Jeff and I loaded up our two chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye and set out in our Jeep Wrangler for a full day of capturing the beauty of several California Lakes. Lower Bear River Reservoir is at 5,800 feet above sea level and is a beautiful high sierra reservoir that is free of snow before any of the major lakes higher on Carson Pass. Location of the this 710-acre reservoir is a few miles off Highway 88 and 40 miles east of Jackson. Fishing, water skiing, and boating are all popular at Lower Bear River Reservoir. Use of OHV (Off Highway Vehicles) seemed to be a very popular attraction to this area. The Reservoir has a rockfilled dam that we drove across that overlooks a huge canyon that winds to the west. Just to the East is another dam where Bear River Reservoir is located. Lower Bear River is much larger and more populated with anglers, boaters and campers.
