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.

Round Valley Reservoir - Plumas County, California
Visited on 6/11/2018 on our way back from Springfield, Oregon to visit family and to attend Jeff’s niece, Hannah’s High School graduation ceremony we stopped on the way back to check out Round Valley Reservoir just 3 miles west of Greenville, California. Round Valley Reservoir is a 350-acre lake and the dam is at an elevation of 4,500 feet above sea level. This small, quiet, picturesque high-country lake is home to a good warm-water fishery. Round Valley Reservoir exudes relaxation. These really cool small circular lily pads dot much of the surface, and people fish for bass, bluegill, and catfish. We were the only ones visiting on the Monday afternoon and it is normally uncrowded. The pine- and fir-covered hillsides reach above 5,500 feet in the lovely Sierra-Cascade setting of the Plumas National Forest. A Forest Service picnic area is found on the northeast shore about 0.5 mile from the dam. The only remaining campground at the lake is the privately operated Round Valley Lake Resort, 1 mile from the dam. A large sign near the dam states that since it is a drinking water source for town of Greenville, no swimming, no body contact and no dogs are allowed in the water.
