A follow up on yesterday’s topic of exploring if you have not visited Juniper Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park, you might want to add it your list. The road is a bit rough, but worth the drive. The lake covers 592 acres and is the largest lake in the park. In the 1870s, it was originally designated Lake Louise, but along the way it became known as Juniper. As remote as it is, it does have an interesting history, especially with the antics of C.P. Snell and his varied attempts to develop a resort. Snell had purchased 475 acres there, and it was not until the 1950s when the park acquired the property.
