McKay's Point Reservoir - Calaveras County, California




Visited on 7/29/2017 - After a long day of visiting several lakes in the High Sierra mountains of California the very last stop was at McKay's Point Reservoir, a 35 acre reservoir located at 3,370 feet elevation in a remote part of backroads near Arnold, California.  Jeff and I were driving as fast as we could on a bumpy gravel road to reach this reservoir before we ran out of daylight.  Well, we made it, but once we got there the only view of the lake that we could get was from the dam.  They had the dam fenced off with a security camera at the dam.  A sign said that it was unsafe because of unexpected water levels.  The worse part of this trip was that I picked up a screw in my back rear tire of my Jeep and we had a flat tire on our way home.  Even though it was a wonderful day exploring over fifteen lakes it wasn't very fun changing a flat tire at 11:15 p.m. at night with two very tired dogs.  We worked as a team and powered through it!
