Lake Merced is one of San Francisco's three natural freshwater lakes and was the main source of freshwater for nearly 50 years, according to the book Walking San Francisco's 49-Mile Scenic Drive by Kristine Poggioli and Carolyn Eidson. .
I walked there on Saturday, when Maxine and I (masked and at 6' from each other) started walking around the lake. It was my first time doing this, and it's lovely. But it started to rain, so we headed back after an hour or so because we weren't prepared.
But our walk prompted me to open the book "Walking San Francisco's 49-Mile Scenic Drive," which describes the tule reeds, which the native Ohlone people used to build houses and boats. I'm excited about going back and finishing the loop!
