Jeff and I took a nice trip to Southern California for a Rodeo weekend in Banning, California outside of Palm Springs for the weekend. We were camping with our two chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye. While on our camping adventure we set out to several lakes and reservoirs over the long weekend.
I visited Lake Evans on my way down to meet Jeff for camping at Lake
Isabellar on my way down on 05/02/2019. Lake
Evans is an 86 acre lake which is a manmade recreational lake located approximately 25
miles southwest of Bakersfield in the lower central valley of California. It along with Lake Webb is one of two lakes
that are part of the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area. Lake Webb and Lake Evans better known as
"Buena Vista Lakes" are located in a flat basin which was once on the
lakebed of the former Buena Vista Lake an elevation of 350 feet above sea level. Projecting
midway into the Lake Webb next door is a horseshoe‐shaped spit of land contains
112 campsites in a double row. This lake is the place for the more serene
pursuits of sailing, fishing, and boating at no more than 5 mph.
Lake Webb and Lake Evans better known as "Buena Vista Lakes"
are located in a flat basin, twelve miles northeast of the town of Taft and
twenty-three miles southwest of the city of Bakersfield, at an elevation of
350’. The lakes are surrounded by a low bushes and small trees. On beyond that
lies a huge flat dirt basin. One outstanding feature of Buena Vista Lakes is
the extremely well maintained grassy picnic grounds along the northern side of
the lakes.
