Thanks to excessive rainfall in California, a temporary lake is giving tourists a rare opportunity to do some kayaking in the driest place in the United States.The lake has formed at Badwater Basin, which boasts the lowest elevation in North America at 282ft / 86m below sea level.

I wonder if this rain event will "reset" areas like the devil's racetrack (erase the old tracks).

I was just there, besides kayaking there was paddle boarding and wild crowds lakeside. The rangers have lost all control. Lake Manly is huge and beautiful tho.

"Lake Manly" has now become “too shallow and too far from the road” to transport and launch watercraft without damaging the landscape, according to the NPS.
Visitors are no longer able to bring a boat or any other vessel that travels on water.
