Lake County Reviews
Rating 2.5 out of 5 4 reviews
what I like about the lake is it's a resort town and the fishing is awesome in the summer. There are many different casinos. Lake county is known for Mt.Knocti mountain. Very close to fort brag ,Lake county has many different lakes, like Blue Lakes, Clearlake lake was so clean that you could see the bottom, there is an inactive volcano that is monitored constantly.
Lake County doesn’t really have a lot of things to do. It’s a beautiful place with nice landscapes and the lake but that is basically the only intresting thing.
Lake County is tragic. An incredibly high number of serious felony and child abuse ex-cons reside here. A very high rate of illiteracy. No real industry outside of industrial vineyards and industrial cannabis neither of which care about their community. As corrupt as any third world country but probably not as safe. Serious wildfire danger prevails but the State rates Lake County as a low priority. Several re-hab programs dump patients here as do social workers. Poor schools. Many gun nuts with paramilitary gear and no gun training whatsoever. Some actual hunters exist but hunting is no longer safe or worthwhile in this wasteland. No good restaurants. Most people here are racist.
