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.
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.
