This is a photo of lovely Juanita Lake, located off of Highway
97 between Weed California and Klamath Falls Oregon in the Klamath National
Forest. Despite its beauty and a
wonderful campground with 22 paved sites, it seems to be almost unknown. As it turns out our GPS sure doesn’t have any
idea where it is. I was unable to bring it up by name or locate it on the GPS
map. I had originally found out about
Juanita Lake from a birding site, so I went back to that site, which luckily for
me had the coordinates listed for the lake. I put the coordinates in the GPS
and off we went. The complete story is
way too long to tell here, but the GPS made numerous attempts to misdirect
us. Finally a California State Trooper
(Jeanette says handsome), helped us and we made it here yesterday afternoon. We
have enjoyed the lake and campground so much, we will be back here sometime for
sure.

So Jim, give me a hint. What state in this lake in? What nearby place is it near so I can find it on a map. I'm always interested in campgrounds that have few visitors.

Bill, this is in California. You can click on the highlighted link of Juanita Lake for more info, but it is south of Doris, California in the Klamath National Forest, just to the south of Meiss Lake. It's about 7 miles off of Hwy 97. Very clean campground.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Klamath Falls, and never knew this lake was even there! Thanks for sharing a beautiful spot.
