On 1/2/18 during a visit to proctor
examinations for work I visited the Riverside area of South California. I visited several lakes in the area. This picture below was taken just outside the entrance
gate on the east side of the military base gate. I drove up to the gate and asked permission
to go inside to just take a picture of the lake and he said, “Access
Denied”! So, I will not be able to
provide a picture of the lake that I have taken personally, but I took a
picture of the front gate sign. At an elevation of 657 feet above sea level, Lake
Norconian, is an artificial lake, in Norco, Riverside County, California. This lake is very shallow and is only 16 feet
at the deepest point. Lake Norconian was
created in the early 1920s as part of the Norconian Resort. This 60-acre lake
was equipped with a boat house and beautiful Pavilion. It was the site where a
few 1930's movies were filmed. Acquired with the resort by the U. S. Navy in
1941, the lake is now part of the Naval Surface Warfare Assessment Center.
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.
