The long, narrow lake meanders through the
remote canyon bottom of the San Joaquin
River. The winding access road to the lake
was in extremely poor condition, making it
unsuitable for large motorhomes or vehicles
pulling trailers—in fact, any vehicle
without four-wheel drive would have
difficulty accessing the area when I last
visited.
The seclusion and solitude of this lake can
be soothing, but I don't recommend paddling
Kerckhoff Reservoir or Redinger Lake alone
due to the remoteness and lack of people in
the vicinity in case of an emergency.
A paved boat launch and small parking lot
with nearby restrooms are available, but
beyond that, you'll likely be entirely on
your own with no one else around. Redinger
Lake is an ideal destination for the more
adventurous.
The lake offers year-round fishing for
 striped
bass, bluegill, and catfish. However, the
lake is not stocked by any fishery or the
Department of Fish and Game, so you may come
up empty-handed.
