KHAI MINH CAMPING TRIP JULY 2 - JULY 4 2005

Location & Directions

Get to the intersection of Route 15 and Highway 138 (known as the Cajon Junction). This can be accomplished by either going out Route 10 to the 15 and going North to the 138 or, for the San Fernando folks, going out the Pearblossom Highway (138) to the 15. From the 15, take 138 East for about 12 miles. The first 3 miles are quite winding but then it straightens out. When you see the lake ahead of you and you start down a grade, watch on your right for the Silverwood Lake exit sign. At the stop sign, go left to the camp entrance booth and check in. After you have checked in, turn around and go back the way you came to the West Fork group camps area in Cleghorn Canyon. You will pass the stop sign on the right that you started from, pass the park administration office on your left, and about a half of a mile further on your left is the entrance to the Barranca group camping area. The telephone number for the park administration office is (760)389-2281.

Silverwood Lake is located in the San Bernardino Mountains at an elevation of 3,350 feet above sea level. Boating, fishing, water skiing, jet skiing, hiking, bicyling, and swimming are all popular activities. Several picnic areas surround the lake.
