Tarboo Creek: The Lake

looking at tarboo lake on a wet fall evening

The final or the beginning?

Several seasonal side streams flow in and out but the lake is either the beginning or the end for the anadromous -born in fresh water, migrating and living most of life in salt water, returning to spawn in fresh water- salmonoids. Access the lake area via tarboo lake road off center valley rd. The drive back through Pope Resources land is 3 miles. There is also a kayak cache down the lake a bit. True access by foot to the creek outflow is blocked by a fence so we placed the cache opposite of the boat ramp.

Park in the parking area then go outside the fence, looking outside the fence you'll notice a fisherman's trail. The trail is easily followed right to the cache. In the wet months rain gear would be advised! Because of the tree cover the plus or minus was 25 feet but the hide spot is obvious.
