Description
This path rolls along the shore of a unique, natural lake. It is the second largest natural lake completely in California. You'll enjoy the sound of the wind through the pines as you take in the scenery and wildlife. Be sure to bring a fishing pole and license if you enjoy fishing. The Eagle Lake Trout is a hearty subspecies of the Rainbow Trout.
