Talk:Tulare Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where is this lake? Somewhere in California?
- I don't think it is really "there" any more--it's mostly agricultural fields. You can find it about 40 miles south of Fresno just to the east of California Highway 41. Antandrus 00:46, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
--- I live in an area on the outskirts of hanford, my grade school I went to was a few miles from my house. It's called Lakeside named after the area it occupies. Apearently that area was a port area for shipping on the Tulare Lake. In the middle of the 19th century if you would of looked towards the south in the area where Lakeside Elementry School now stands you would see nothing but Lake and Marshes for miles. Now all you see is farmland and dry desert fields, a total change in the habitat of the area. The Saddest thing is no one really knows nothing are even cares to know nothing about the Lake, Rivers, and Marshland that used to be out there right under there feet and how beautiful the place must of been. now its just a dryed up wastland with the strong smell of cow manure in the air... a sad testement of Manifest Destiny... - Another Lonley Traveler -- Wednesday, April 19th, 2006
