BOGGS LAKE in Summer resembles Tuolumne Meadows in the Yosemite High Country.
It is surrounded by ponderosa pine, black oak and madrone forests. The pines were hard hit by the drought years. It is a wild land supporting bobcats, black tail deer, coyotes, bald eagles, pileated woodpeckers, Pacific pond turtles, Northern Pacific rattlesnakes, California king snakes, Pacific chorus frogs, mountain lions and black bears.
