Lake Kaweath - Tulare County, California



Visited on 11/17/2017 driving along the Central Valley foothills after proctoring Drinking Water operator examinations at Mountain Home Conservation Camp near Porterville, CA.  This 1,945 acre lake was created by the construction of the Terminus Dam in 1962 at an elevation of 255 feet above sea level.  This lake is located along Highway 198 east of Visalia near the town of Three Rivers, CA just 15 miles west of the entrance to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.  The Terminus River flows out of Sequoia National Park into and out of the lake.  Water level shown in my picture is low due to the time of year being late fall (November) and the winter rains had not started.
