Paddling enthusiasts
will find many scenic coves and miles of
shoreline to explore at Shaver Lake.
Mountains clothed with towering pine forests
provide a spectacular background setting for
an invigorating paddle. This popular boating
lake has a 5 m.p.h. boat speed limit 100
feet from the shoreline, which provides a
safe haven from the fast-moving powerboats.
It is a good
six-hour paddle around the entire perimeter
of Shaver Lake. The shape of the lake is not
well-suited for novice paddlers unless they
launch from Camp Edison and only paddle the
southern arms, which is the most scenic area
on the lake. A public boat launching ramp is
located at the north end of the lake. Camp
Edison also has boat launch facilities for
its campers. Shaver Lake is a popular lake
for water sports activities. Water skiing,
jet skiing, and windsurfing are popular
activities at this beautiful mountain lake.
Shaver Lake is an
ultimate destination to hook a rainbow
trout, salmon, smallmouth bass, bluegill, or
catfish. The lake is open all year for
fishing. The Department of Fish and Game
plants the lake with 52,000 rainbow trout in
the 10 to 12 inch class and 54,000 Kokanee
salmon fingerlings each year.
The best time to
fish is when the water surface warms up,
beginning in the spring, and in the coves
along the southern side of the lake, away
from the abundance of fast-moving watercraft
 on
the lake. Soak in the rays of
sunshine as you glide across the water in a
kayak, canoe or on a paddleboard. Casting a
lure into the water and letting out the line
behind your kayak as you troll will very
often produce good results.
