Lake County Trip Planner

Welcome to Lake County, California

Often overshadowed by California's Pacific coastline, Lake County's freshwater lakes offer an abundance of vacation and recreational pursuits. Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in California, serves as the main attraction in local communities, including Lakeport, Clearlake and Kelseyville, providing them with bass fishing, boating and swimming. Throughout the year, Outrageous Waters boasts an entertaining facility for all ages, containing giant water slides, batting cages and go-kart tracks. In addition to water activities, Lake County boasts several natural parks. One such area is the Anderson Marsh State Historic Park, which contains historic artifacts dating back 10,000 years, as well as nature walks and birdwatching areas. Visitors can learn about the stars at the Taylor Planetarium and Observatory or visit one of the county's many scenic wineries. Outdoor activities aside, Lake County is fully equipped to entertain people of all ages and tastes with an array of antique shops, art galleries, restaurants, museums and casinos.
