We found a lake in the desert that is Southern California! It’s called Pyramid Lake, and it is about an hour North of LA. It’s a reservoir that is formed by Pyramid Dam. The dam is located right in front of a massive rock which was cut into a pyramid shape, and that’s where it got its name from. The lake is the deepest lake in the California Water Project System, and is between both the Angeles National Forest and the Los Padres National Forest. You can go camping there, and if you have a boat, take it out on the water. I grew up in Florida with a ski boat, so I’m used to going to different lakes every weekend. There are also some trails nearby that you can do, and those go up into the mountains for a nice view. The coolest part about this lake, and probably all of the California lakes, is that the backdrop is mountains! Definitely something you wouldn’t get in Florida.
