California Through My Lens

Lakes

When you’re visiting a state along the Pacific Ocean, sometimes you forget there are other bodies of water to experience. If you’re traveling more inland, California has plenty of lakes to spend the day at. Grab your sunscreen and beach chair and head to any of California’s lakes in Mammoth, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and more! You will find a wholly different experience at one of California’s lakes, and it will probably be something that you cherish. Here are some of our favorite lakes.
