This long, narrow reservoir offers
breathtaking vistas as far as the eye can
see. Situated on the Rubicon River at an
elevation of 4,700 feet, its magnificent,
boulder-lined shoreline is a paradise for
adventurous paddlers willing to tackle the
challenge of reaching this remote
destination. The winding access road is a
long, slow drive.
Hell Hole Reservoir's isolated location
helps minimize crowds and boat traffic. In
fact, it's rare to encounter more than a
handful of other visitors, even during the
peak summer season. You may even find
yourself the sole occupant of this serene,
natural setting.
This beautiful, 3.5-mile artificial lake is
divided into three distinct sections: Upper
Hell Hole, the Narrows, and Lower Hell Hole.
Numerous small islands dot the lake, ripe
for exploration. Water levels peak in May,
gradually declining thereafter.
Many paddlers enjoy trolling this tra nquil
lake for trout. Hell Hole Reservoir is a
prime destination for kayak anglers pursuing
kokanee salmon, mackinaw, rainbow, and brown
trout. Trolling deep for browns, mackinaws,
and kokanee is the most effective tactic.
