I thought you might want to correct the name of the city where Lake Kaweah Marina is located. It’s Lemon Cove, not Lemon Grove. Lemon Grove is an actual city in California, but some distance from Lemon Cove and isn’t the home of the Kaweah Lake Marina. Kaweah Lake is at the base of the Kaweah River which flows through the town of Three Rivers which is the gateway to Sequoia National Park.
