A Day Trip To This Tranquil Lake In Southern California Is The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of
Southern California may be known for its magnificent beaches, but we locals know that we also have some pretty epic lakes that are worthy of exploring. Here’s one of my favorite lakes in SoCal that offers the perfect setting for an afternoon near the water where you will be surrounded by beauty and nature.
You'll want to head to the San Bernardino National Forest to find one of my favorite lakes in all of SoCal -- Jenks Lake.
Located near picturesque Angelus Oaks in San Bernardino County, you'll find the drive to Jenks Lake to be a scenic delight. Take your time and enjoy the beauty all around you.
When you arrive, just head straight to the parking lot. Once you park, you'll take these stairs straight to the lake. Now isn't that a marvelous view to see as you descend the steps?
And don't forget to pack a picnic lunch so you can dine under the beautiful SoCal sky on a sunny afternoon. You'll find tons of picnic tables to choose from.
What a splendid place! Have you ever had the chance to enjoy an afternoon at Jenks Lake? To check seasonal operating hours just head to the Jenks Lake website for more information.
There are plenty more lakes to choose from all over Southern California, so if Jenks Lake isn’t a close drive for you then take a look at these 9 gorgeous SoCal lakes that may be closer to your neck of the woods.
