カラベラス郡の湖・トップ6

This reservoir was created when the Camanche Dam was built across the Mokelumne River in the 1960s. The dam and lake get their name from the former town of Camanche, that now lies deep below the surface of the water. These days it is a popular recreation destination for all manner of outdoor activities. The day use and camping areas do fill to capacity regularly throughout the busy summer season, so early planning is essential if you don't want to miss out.

This is a great place to bring the whole family. Plenty of room for the kids to run around plus picnic areas and a trail around the lake if you want to go for a walk.

The Pardee Dam was built across the Mokelumne River between 1927 and 1929. Upon its completion the Pardee Reservoir was created. Fishing, hiking, and camping are popular with boat rentals being available as well.

New Melones Lake straddles the border of Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. In addition to providing electric power, irrigation water, and flood control to the area the lake is also open for recreation. Visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, and camping.

Fly-in Lake seems now mostly a meadow-wetland that often dries out except for the center of the creek. It's still a nice clearance and sometimes offers opportunities to observe wildlife.
