点评:Currently, due to a renovation, the Visitor Center is in a trailer but that doesn’t take away from any interactions/gift shop options. Our main purpose for the stop was to get a Passport Stamp. For kids and overgrown kids (of which I’m one, for a number of years now) Passport Stamps are a good reason to stop at locations you may not otherwise stop at. The Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is one of those stops. We didn’t stop by there for camping or other activities but to see the Glory Hole at Whiskeytown Lake. What the heck is the Glory Hole at Whiskeytown Lake? It must be seen to be believed. It is basically an overflow drain which prevents water from going over the dam. Yes, there is a dam, too. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, it was not in operation because the lake level wasn’t too high.
If you have a chance, stop by for a quick look. It’s worth taking a few pictures and reading the interpretive signs. Especially the one detailing the Glory Hole operation.
翻译:目前,由于翻修,游客中心被安置在一辆拖车里,但这丝毫不会影响游客的互动和礼品店的选择。我们这次停留的主要目的是盖护照章。对于孩子和长不大的孩子(我就是其中之一,已经很多年了)来说,盖护照章是一个不错的理由,可以让你在一些平时可能不会去的地方停留。威士忌镇国家休闲区就是其中之一。我们去那里不是为了露营或其他活动,而是为了看看威士忌镇湖的荣耀洞(Glory Hole)。威士忌镇湖的荣耀洞到底是什么?必须亲眼所见才能相信。它本质上是一个溢流排水沟,用来防止水漫过水坝。是的,这里也有水坝。幸运的是,或者不幸的是,这取决于你的观点,由于湖水水位不太高,它没有投入使用。
如果有机会,一定要去快速看看。拍几张照片,看看解说牌,还是很有意思的。特别是详细描述 Glory Hole 行动的那个。
