Juniper Lake

This area is a fisherman's paradise. There are numerous lakes, most with primitive campgrounds, that would make for a great weekend getaway. Juniper Lake is located in the southern portion of Lassen Volcanic National Park about 13 miles north of Chester, California. The drive starts out as a paved road lined with tall evergreens...

At the lake people were kayaking and enjoying the warm, sunny weather...

On the north end of the lake there are private cottages that were built before the area became a national park...

Mystery of the day: "What was this suitcase with boots on top doing out in the middle of nowhere with no one around"...
