Visited on 1/19/2018 on a drive in our rural neighborhood just about 5 miles west of where we live in Elverta, California. Murphy Lake is by far the closest lake on my list to visit from our home. This lake is only seasonal and most times of the year it is completely dry, but we recently received a few inches of rainfall and I was able to find this remote lake amongst the farmlands and rice fields. Located off of Howsley Road and Highway 99 north of Sacramento about 14 miles just north of the Sacramento International Airport. This small lake, which is the only lake listed on the list for Sutter County, is at an elevation of 20 feet above sea level and the list does not list the size of the lake in acreage. This picture was taken around 5 p.m. so the sun was setting in the west and it made for a great shot.
