Lake
Davis is located 7 miles north of Portola, California. This
lake was created in 1967 for recreational opportunities. The
Lake Davis Recreation Area offers a wide variety of summer
outdoor experiences including: camping, picnicking, fishing,
hunting, boating, mountain biking and wildlife viewing. Water
skiing is not permitted. Frequent strong winds can cause the
lake to become very hazardous for small craft. In the winter,
ice fishing, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are the
favored activities.
