The Spicer Meadows Reservoir is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. Spanning approximately 8 miles, the reservoir features a rugged, rocky shoreline that frames stunning vistas. Paddling through the forest of dead and partially submerged trees creates a truly captivating experience. With excellent opportunities for fishing, camping, and outdoor recreation, the long, winding drive to reach this popular destination is well worth it.

The northern arm of the reservoir, bordering the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness, is dedicated to non-motorized activities, making it an ideal location for kayak fishing. The reservoir is home to both wild trout and fish that were stocked as fingerlings by the Department of Fish and Game.

Towering granite boulders and the majestic Central Sierra Nevada Mountains surround Spicer Meadows Reservoir, while the campground is nestled within a forested oasis of cedars, Jeffrey pines, and Ponderosa pines.

Paddlers are sure to be delighted by the reservoir's outstanding natural waterways and attractions. From its pristine wilderness to its beautiful boat-in campsites, Spicer Meadows Reservoir is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts of all interests.
