The serene Lake Valley Reservoir offers a
premier paddling experience. Its calm waters
and peaceful atmosphere are framed by a
towering forest and boulder-lined shoreline.
The refreshing mountain air awakens the
senses, providing an invigorating paddle
along the reservoir's impressive 8-mile
perimeter. Motorized boats are restricted,
creating a tranquil environment for
activities like sailing, windsurfing, and
electric fishing boats.
While the gravel access road and parking lot
can be challenging, especially after rain,
the reservoir's remoteness limits boat
traffic, which rarely exceeds 15 vessels on
summer weekends. However, sudden afternoon
winds can disrupt an otherwise perfect
paddling excursion.
Conifers line the rocky shoreline, providing
 ample
shaded pullout spots to explore the
reservoir's private inlets and two small
islands. At dawn, the mirrored reflections
of the vibrant vegetation create a
picturesque scene. Given the remote
location, it's advisable for paddlers to
bring a companion.
