After the solitary drive through towering
pine forests and awe-inspiring giant redwood
trees in the McKinley Grove, the sight that
awaited me at Courtright Reservoir was
nothing short of breathtaking. The first
view of this mystical reservoir reveals
unusual dome-shaped rock formations that
create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere.
Paddling Courtright Lake is an adventure of
a lifetime, regardless of one's experience
level. As you glide across the glassy water,
you'll be treated to a panorama of beautiful
mountains and forests that will leave you in
awe. This surprisingly peaceful paddle also
offers abundant opportunities for wildlife
sightings.
Courtright Reservoir is a picturesque high
Sierra lake that provides outstanding
opportunities for paddling, camping, hiking,
and horseback riding. It's an ideal
destination for both paddling and fishing. A
public boat launch is available at the south
end of the lake, and no fees or permits are
required.
The surrounding area also features six small
but impressive remnant giant sequoia groves,
including Wishon, Silver Creek,  Burro,
Maggie Mountain, Middle Tule, and Upper Tule
Groves, which are well worth exploring.
