Where: West Coast Location:
Camp Edison, Shaver Lake, California
About Camp Edison: http://www.campedison.com
The unique 250-acre camp was
built by Edison in a pine-forested site on the western shores of Shaver Lake approximately
50 miles northeast of Fresno. World famous hunting and fishing spots are easily
accessible. Hiking and horseback trails wind through some of the world's most
spectacular scenery. Pack stations offer trips to otherwise inaccessible points for
camping, fishing, or even amateur prospecting and 'rock collecting.'
In the late spring and summer,
families camp near Edison's chain of man-made lakes. Here, sailboats run before the
breeze and water skiers etch the surface of the crystal clear waters. There is
swimming, and for the hardy there are craggy peaks to scale. For those who pursue
the gentler recreation arts, the area is ideal for painting and photography and for study
of a variety of nature subjects.
