Lake Camanche Begins to Perc

Monument RV Park, South Shore, Lake Camanche (10/31/17) Terry Willard

When the Central Valley begins to perc, Terry Willard at Lake Camanche is one of the first to report.

Lake Camanche is a popular destination east of Lodi, known for camping, fishing and just getting away. In autumn, the lake’s shimmering waters are lit with the reflections of autumn colors from exotic tree of heaven, Chinese pistache, flowering pear and plums.
