West Valley Reservoir - Lassen County, California


Visited on 6/9/2018 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 home to check out this nice reservoir.  West Valley Reservoir is in the northeastern corner of California at an elevation of 4,770 feet, east of Highway 395 near the town of Likely, California.  This 970-acre Reservoir Located in high desert terrain with lava rock, Sage brush, and Juniper.   It has a shoreline of 7 miles which is usually frozen over from December to early March.  West Valley is owned and administered by Modoc County.  We traversed unpaved roads with our truck camper to get a good vantage point to view this lake.  It is somewhat remote and has limited facilities for the primitive camper.
