It's a half-hour drive from the mission to Lake San Antonio. If you're feeling famished, stop for snacks at the Lockwood store. Founded in 1888 as a post office for a community called “Hunger Flats”, the community was named for Belva Lockwood, a lawyer, suffragette and presidential candidate in 1888. The original post office survives, but the town, like its namesake, has disappeared into history.
Quiet in autumn, the Lake San Antonio offers many summer activities, including boating, skiing and fishing. A shoreline picnic, bird watching, or mountain biking are always in season here, and winter for Sunday brunch and eagle-watching cruises are popular.
