R-Ranch in the Sequoias

The lakeside is the frequent site of evening campfires, sing alongs and wienie roasts. The lake is surrounded by a levee road which is a great place for a morning jog or an easy evening stroll. Fishing is a popular activity. Paddle boats and non-motorized small craft are frequently on the lake. Even more common are the water fowl which call the lake home.
