Here's a suggested Itinerary

The City of Lakeport

The gazebo in Lakeports Library Park
The seat of our county government, Lakeport is two hours from "everywhere," including San Francisco, Sacramento, Mendocino Village and the Pacific Ocean.

The Hwy 20 Corridor

Arch in Upperlake
Highway 20, one of California's designated routes of statewide significance, begins its eastward journey in Fort Bragg on the Pacific Coast and ends in Truckee, Nevada.

The West Shore

Kelseyville Bridge
Encircling Mount Konocti, the area that is Greater Kelseyville runs along the shores of Clear Lake from Clear Lake State Park through Soda Bay, Riviera Heights, Buckingham, Riviera West, and Clear Lake Riviera.

The South Shore

View of Mt. Konocti from Clearlake
Locals and visitors have fond memories of childhood experiences along the southern shore of Clear Lake and along Old Hwy 53. Full of intimate little resorts catering to families from the Sacramento Valley and the Bay Area.

Cobb Mountain

Waterfall in Cobb
Cobb Mountain is quite a surprise—rising as it does from the midst of a fairly typical Northern California rural atmosphere composed of agricultural valleys and rolling foothills.

The Southern Gateway

Golf Course in Hidden Valley
Some things don't change. From the beginning, Middletown has been the "Gateway to Lake County," it's halfway from Calistoga in Napa County, to Lower Lake or Cobb Mountain. It's…well… in the middle.
