Paddling enthusiasts
will find Shaver Lake to be a scenic haven,
with miles of shoreline and picturesque
coves to explore. The lake is surrounded by
towering pine forests and majestic
mountains, creating a spectacular backdrop
for an invigorating paddle. To ensure a safe
experience, the lake has a 5 mph boat speed
limit within 100 feet of the shoreline,
providing a tranquil haven from faster
powerboats.
It's an impressive 6-hour paddle to
circumnavigate the entire lake. However, the
lake's shape makes it better suited for
experienced paddlers, unless they launch
from the southern end at Camp Edison, which
offers the most scenic areas. A public boat
ramp is located at the northern end, while
Camp Edison also has launch facilities for
its campers.
Shaver Lake is a popular destination for
water sports like water skiing, jet skiing,
and windsurfing, thanks to its beautiful
mountain setting. It's also an excellent
spot for anglers, with the lake stocked
annually by the Department of Fish and Game
with 52,000 rainbow trout and 54,000 Kokanee
salmon fingerlings.
The best fishing is when the water warms in
spring, particularly in the coves along the
southern shoreline, away from th e
busier boat traffic. Anglers can try casting
lures from kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards,
often with great success as they troll the
lake's waters.
