Description:
Courtright Reservoir is located in one of the most superb geological areas of California. Bare granite domes rise from the shores of Courthright Reservoir and above the deep canyon cut by Helms Creek located at the north end of the lake. Ice Age glaciers sculpted the mountain peaks, slopes and valleys giving them their unique present day shape. To the east Mt. Goddard rises majestically to 13,568 feet in elevation. Rock features: Rock Outcropping Shoreline: Wilderness Reservoir Features: Rocky Beach, Sandy Beach, Woodlands.
