Beautiful lake near the 3 rivers exit of Sequoia National Park. Spotted this while driving by and it was very beautiful and picturesque. Not sure if this is a good stopping point but definitely a good water body to drive by especially during sunset

This is a nice lake near Visalia but there are hardly any parking spots. I've been there multiple times and parking is always a problem.
