An outstanding paddling adventure awaits at
the serene French Meadows Reservoir. While
the scenic drive through densely forested
mountains may be long and winding, the
lake's peaceful atmosphere and natural
beauty make it well worth the journey.
Despite its remote location, the reservoir
is rarely busy, even during peak summer
months, as the challenging access road
deters large boat owners.
The reservoir offers a diverse array of
family-friendly outdoor activities,
including kayaking, canoeing, power boating,
fishing, and swimming. However, speedboats
and water/jet skis are not recommended due
to submerged hazards. French Meadows is
renowned for its excellent brown trout
fishing, as well as an abundance of rainbow
and cutthroat trout. The lake is regularly
stocked with 20,000 12-inch rainbow trout
and 2,000 brown trout catchables, plus a few
large resident trophy browns.
In short, French Meadows Reservoir provides
a truly one-of-a-kind, unforgettable
recreational experience, with stunning sce nery,
abundant wildlife, and a peaceful, uncrowded
atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.
The drive may be long, but the rewards of
this hidden gem are well worth it.
