Lake of the Woods, Glacial lake in California, US
Lake of the Woods sits at an elevation of 5,121 feet in California, surrounded by mountain peaks and natural formations shaped by ancient ice movements.
The lake formed during past glacial periods when massive ice sheets carved through the mountain landscape, creating this water-filled basin in California.
Local residents and visitors participate in fishing activities throughout the seasons, maintaining traditional angling practices passed down through generations.
Access points to Lake of the Woods include marked trails and parking facilities, with designated areas for boats and fishing equipment storage.
The lake maintains consistent water levels due to its glacial origin, supporting a year-round habitat for native fish species and aquatic plants.
