The majestic hillsides and spectacular views in the mountain city of Clearlake waits for anyone looking to relieve themselves of everyday troubles. This 0.12-acre hidden gem 7 minutes outside the city’s downtown area, surrounds itself with the dense groves of trees and the dancing plants of 23rd Ave. Take a deep breath the next time you’re in Northern California’s Lake County. And you’ll find it just a couple hours north of San Francisco. You’ll also find more than 100 miles of shoreline ringing this watersport mecca—the largest natural freshwater lake wholly within California. Boat marinas abound, many offering rental watercraft of every sort, including manpowered kayaks, as well as fishing gear. This is the land of bass fishing, and it’s a great place to try your hand at nabbing one of the lake’s legendary big boys.
