California offers a plethora of paddling
destinations to suit any preference. In
Central California, Convict Lake stands out
as a must-visit location, providing a
once-in-a-lifetime experience for those who
love beautiful scenery and tranquil waters.
Considered one of the most photogenic lakes
in the eastern Sierra, Convict Lake is
surrounded by rugged peaks and clear, cold
waters.
Autumn is the ideal time to visit Convict
Lake, when brilliant fall foliage and
excellent kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and
camping opportunities converge. Situated at
an elevation of 7,600 feet, the roughly
one-mile by half-mile lake is nestled amidst
the stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains, its
rocky shoreline dotted with aspen and pine.
Convict Lake is a prime destination for
kayak anglers seeking rainbow, brown, and
brook trout. The lake is mos t
productive for quality rainbows in early
spring and late fall, while local anglers
prize the big brown trout caught in these
periods as well. Those preferring to fish
from the shore will also find ample
opportunities to land a trophy trout.
