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.

Lindsey Lake - Nevada County, California
Visited on 7/6/18 during a long weekend trip to Lake Tahoe to watch the 4th of July Fireworks Celebration and for a long weekend of High Sierra camping with Jeff and our dogs, Summer and Skye. We centrally located ourselves for the weekend at the Lodgepole campground at Lake Valley Reservoir near Cisco Grove, CA. Lindsey Lakes consists of a row of three lakes which is the most western lake is Lower Lindsey Lake which is the largest of the three at 40 acres at an elevation 6,238 above sea level. Located within the Tahoe National Forest Lower Lindsey Lake has a primitive campground, with 12 campsites, vault toilets, and no trash service. Some great hiking in the area, fishing and swimming. The lakes are flanked with conifers and deciduous trees that shimmer a lighter green hue. In spring till early summer the open meadows surounding the lake are filled with wildflowers.
