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.

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.
