the heart of San Pablo

I've first visited this lake few months ago. My very first impression was that the lake seems so "strong" and "mysterious" after talking to the locals ...It is strong because of the unusual waves that reflects the current underneath...You will really think many many times before swimming into its water...Well, it is a mysterious lake according to the local stories that people were disappearing in the lake without trace while while swimming underneath...Their "conclusion" but yet to be discovered is that a "tunnel" at the bottom of the lake flows to the ocean and might have "sucked" those "missing" people...Nobody really knows but it adds up to some kind of excitement to visit this beautiful lake at the base of another mysterious mountain which is the Mt Banahaw... Jogging and renting a bike is okay. Foods here are pricey but you can pack your own lunch 'cause they have rock chairs and tables there. Expect beggars to approach you while you are eating.
