Bon Tempe Reservoir - Marin County, California



Visited on 8/11/2018, Jeff and I loaded up our two chocolate Labradors and went for a day drive to Marin County to visit several lakes.  Bon Tempe Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Marin County, California at 845 acres. This reservoir is located just 3 miles south of the town of Fairfax (Home of the Mountain Biking Hall of Fame), nestled on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California just 25 miles north of San Francisco. At an elevation of 718 feet above sea level, there are great hiking trails that surround and encircle the lake. But, I felt like we were punishing our dogs because since this is a Drinking Water source and no dogs are allowed in the reservoir.  We took a walk along the dam that overlooks Alpine Lake to the west.
