Clearlake: SR-20 : East Of SR-53 - Looking West (C011)

Tucked along the southern shore of Clear Lake in Northern California, Clearlake is a place whose character is shaped by the lake’s broad freshwater expanse. Clear Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake wholly within California, and its shoreline gives the city a distinctly waterside rhythm, with boating and angling central to local recreation. The basin is part of the ancestral homeland of Pomo peoples, whose presence remains fundamental to the cultural story of Lake County. Clearlake was incorporated in 1980, bringing several established lakeside communities under one city government.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
