Clear Lake is a great
getaway just 3 hours north of San Francisco. In fact the drive
from San Francisco will take you through some very scenic wine
country and forest, over a mountain and down to the lake. Many
come here for the boating, fishing and biking, but there are also
cultural events and concerts at Konocti Harbor Resort.
Clear Lake, the
43,000-acre center of Lake County, is the largest natural lake in
California; it may very well be the oldest lake in North America
as scientific evidence has proven the lake to be at least 150,000
years old. The area took shape from volcanic action; Clear Lake's
current form was created by a landslide thousands of years age
which blocked the broad valley's drainage west into the Russian
River. |
