Dry Lake, Coast Ranges, Del Norte County, California

    User input for Dry Lake, Coast Ranges, Del Norte County, California:


Dry Lake is NOT a good place to camp, or fish. Forest Service has failed to keep water weeds and water lilies out which is destroying the fishery. Summer days are HOT, winters cold, lots of bugs in summer. At the present rate of invasive water weeds, this lake will be a marsh bog in a few years. - Redwood Bob
