New Hogan Lake is a man-made reservoir
nestled in the foothills of California's
Sierra Nevada range, located about 30 miles
northeast of Stockton in Calaveras County.
The lake is formed by the New Hogan Dam,
which impounds the Calaveras River where its
North and South forks converge.
The lake offers a variety of recreational
activities, including kayaking, canoeing,
boating, camping, picnicking, swimming,
bicycling, mountain biking, hiking, and
horseback riding. A hiking trail can be
accessed below the dam in the Monte Vista
Recreation Area.
Primitive boat-in tent campsites are
available at Deer Flat, providing ample
shoreline access for launching hand-carried
boats. Picnic sites are located at the New
Hogan Dam Observation Point and in the
Fiddleneck Day Use Area. Wrinkle Cove
features a designated swimming area, though
lifeguards are not provided.
New Hogan Lake supports a diverse fishery,
including abundant striped bass as well as
rainbow and brown trout, small and l argemouth
bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish.
Fishing for catfish is particularly popular
year-round at this sizable lake destination.
