Clifton Lake

Clifton Lake is a large lake in Clifton, CA that appears in the California City Season 3 episode Fishing The Flatts on July 7, 2020 where the episode takes place. The lake is designed from a combination of three real lakes based in Virginia, which are the Smith Mountain Lake in Huddleston, VA, Lake Anna in Mineral, VA, and Kerr Lake in Clarkston, VA. Upon designing this lake in the series, all three of the lake maps were edited so that each lake connected to each other, which was how the lake was formed. There is a fictional river where the gang launch their boats.

Lake Description
The lake is at least 60 feet deep and contains tiger sharks, sand sharks, giant freshwater prawns, water fleas, catfish, bass fish, carps, snakes, fiddler crabs, pigfish, frogs, and blue lapisfish, the latter are not an existing species and entirely fictional. There are four power plants that are operating within the lake, making the lake warmer than many other lakes. There are also small freshwater stingrays that hang all the way down the bottom with other terrifying creatures, and the bottom is entirely covered in aquatic plants unknown to most people. The shallow parts of the lake contain native cattails and other aquatic grasses and plants, and is where many smaller fish hang out to hide from predators.
