History

The road from SR-24 at Plateau Junction east to Fish Lake was added to the state highway system in 1918,[1] and numbered SR-25 by the state legislature in 1927.[2] The west end was moved south to Fish Lake Junction in 1935 as a federal aid project,[1] but the legislative description was not changed until 1953.[3] The Fishlake Scenic Byway was designated on April 9, 1990 on SR-25 between SR-24 and Johnson Valley Reservoir. The Byway was extended in August 1992 between Johnson Valley Reservoir and SR-72 to comprise the southern portion of the Gooseberry/Fremont Road Scenic Backway.
