Prosser Creek Reservoir offers a variety of
activities, from kayaking and boating to
paddleboarding and canoeing. The reservoir's
10 m.p.h. boat speed limit and restrictions
on jet skis and water skiing create a
peaceful and pleasurable environment for an
11-mile paddle around the perimeter when the
water level is full.
The reservoir has two main arms with a
central boat launch, allowing novice
paddlers to explore in two sections. The
narrow distance between the shorelines also
provides easy crossover access at any point.
The forested, middle-elevation slopes and
starkly beautiful landscape contribute to
the quiet, remote atmosphere.
The area is home to diverse wildlife and
birds, with ample opportunities for short
day hikes in the surrounding terrain. During
my visits, the reservoir was blissfully free
of watercraft and park visitors, likely due
to the extremely low water levels.
While not as congested as Boca and Stampede
Reservoirs, Prosser Creek still offers good
fishing opportunities thanks t o
the 10 m.p.h. speed limit. The inlets
provide productive spots, and anglers have
had success trolling from kayaks using
flasher and worm combinations to catch
trout.
