The recent lack of the lake is more due to manmade structures and improvements rather than drought. Current estimates I read say the lake may recede in the next two years. Provided there are no more large storms that might refill it. The last time the lake existed in the 80s it took a few years to recede as well. Some good pictures of the roads are here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/25/us/california-storms-tulare-lake.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/25/us/california-storms-tula... https://www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/article/tulare-lake-kayak-18133683.php https://www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/article/tulare-lake-kay... Instead of Google Maps, here's a Sentinel hub link that shows a large body of water on 6/30/2023 https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?zoom=11&lat=36.05715&lng=-119.78325&themeId=DEFAULT-THEME&visualizationUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fservices.sentinel-hub.com%2Fogc%2Fwms%2Fbd86bcc0-f318-402b-a145-015f85b9427e&datasetId=S2L2A&fromTime=2023-06-30T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&toTime=2023-06-30T23%3A59%3A59.999Z&layerId=1_TRUE_COLOR&demSource3D=%22MAPZEN%22 https://apps.sentinel-hub.com/eo-browser/?zoom=11&lat=36.057...
