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.
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.
