Paradise Lake Hike 7-15-2012

The hike around Paradise Lake is very beautiful. It is 9 miles round trip. You come out the same way you go in. We only did 5 miles this morning. Very easy walking path.  I'm a fair weather bird so the heat and humidity got to me. We are hoping the go once a week. It sure beats walking the streets or the track. Maybe some of you would join us. We are so lucky to have such beauty so close. I'm so glad to call Paradise my home. Below is a little trivia I took from the Paradise lake site.

Paradise Lake is one of two reservoirs which stores water for our community. It is a source of public water supply

therefore it is strictly regulated. It covers an area of 244 acres and is surrounded by beautiful wooded land and has a

shoreline of  7.5 miles. It's function is to store raw water for our community of Paradise. It holds approximately 11,500

acre feet of water. It is our only reservoir that allows fishing and recreation. Magalia Reservoir is located on Little Butte

Creek downstream from Paradise Lake and does not allow fishing or recreation. Paradise Dam separates the

two reservoirs.

Paradise Lake is open from 5 am to 9 pm.
