Courtright Reservoir and Shaver Lake 💙

Tucked away in the Sierra National Forest, Courtright Reservoir and Shaver Lake offer a serene escape from the city. The reservoir was created in 1958 with the construction of the Courtright Dam, and Shaver Lake was named after Yosemite explorer Charles Shaver. This reservoir sits at an elevation of 8,170ft!

One of the most striking aspects of Courtright Reservoir and Shaver Lake is the profound sense of calm that pervades the area. The water is glassy still, reflecting the surrounding mountains like a mirror. The world seems to slow down, and the silence is almost palpable. It's the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. I kayaked along the water and I even found myself napping on a rock in the sun, soaking up the warmth like a lizard.

While Courtright Reservoir itself may not hold spiritual significance, the surrounding Sierra National Forest has cultural and spiritual importance to the indigenous peoples of the region. The forest is home to many sacred sites and traditional cultural landscapes!

Getting to Courtright Reservoir and Shaver Lake is relatively easy! The lakes are located approximately 50 miles east of Fresno, CA, and can be accessed via Highway 168 and Dinkey Creek Road.

As always, respect the land and leave it cleaner than you found it 🫶🏻
