- ★★★★★about 2 years agoDrove around just a bit of the lake this evening to see if any of the fall colors were here here yet. Unfortunately it will be another week or two for really good color in the trees but that just gives me another good reason to take another drive soon.
- ★★★★★about 8 years agoMy intent was to add some photos to my night albums and found the south west area of Stockton Lake to be a great destination. This was the area with the least sky light according to the map I use. There were several scenic areas close to bridges and also ample shore areas to hike around and get various angles for sky and lake pictures. There are wide open lake areas as well as interesting growth around the edges. Deadwood and vegetation make great customers for photographing since they are well disciplined and never complain about long poses. Haha These props of nature and the location near the shorelines also accommodate photo ops without too much travel. It did start to get a little chilly so I appreciated this. :) I would like to return during the day to just enjoy that area I was in and the rest of the lake. It looks like I only saw a small portion. I didn’t get a chance to tour the facilities such as restrooms and any visitor center so I’m not sure how that rates in comparison to other lakes. Once again, this trip was for night photography but next time I’m sure I’ll run into a need for lake services.
- ★★★★★about 2 years agoThe public boats ramps which we have used to put in from had nice padded bumpers, as well as, public vault toilets. The lake is beautiful and clean, and there's plenty of room to spread out away from other boaters.
