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. Nicasio Reservoir is a shallow, artificial reservoir in the Nicasio Valley region of Marin County. It covers 845 acres and sits in a 35.9 square miles drainage basin. It was created by the construction of Seeger Dam on the Nicasio Creek in 1961. Seeger Dam is a 115-foot tall, 400-foot long earthen dam owned by the Marin Municipal Water District. Nicasio Reservoir, located at 144 feet above sea level is a nestled in the hills around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California just north of San Francisco. Lots of fisherman were casting their lines out on the reservoir this day. We had a great lunch and played fetch the ball on the shoreline for about an hour with our two dogs. Lots of fun!!!
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.
