Visited on 12/8/2017 while traveling north of Nevada City, CA to proctor drinking water examinations at Washington Ridge Conservation Camp. Scotts Flat Reservoir is located in the Tahoe National Forest off of Highway 20 just a 6.5 miles northeast of Nevada City in the foothills at an elevation of 3,069 feet above sea level. The beautiful scenic lake is 725 acres in size and was formed back in 1948 with the construction of the Scotts Flat Dam across Deer Creek. Jeff and I went horseback camping at the nearby Spillman Horse Camp with our good friend Merlin Jackson a couple years ago, which is located just about five miles up Highway 20 from this lake.
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.
