Jeff and I visited Lower Klamath Lake on our way up to Oregon to view the Solar Eclipse in totality on a week long camping trip in our camper/truck with our dogs, Summer and Skye. Lower Klamath Lake is a very marshy lake located along the most northern part of California near the Oregon State line along highway 161. Lower Klamath Lake is a 500 natural alkaline shallow lake located at an elevation 4,088 of feet above sea level. The lake is a remnant of a larger lake that occupied the entire valley when temperatures were cooler and is fed seasonally by several creeks in Butte Valley. The area around the lake was the home of the Modoc people prior to European contact. Indian Tom Lake is one of California's State Public Hunting Areas for duck and geese.
