Escape the crowds and boat congestion at the remote and serene Stumpy Meadows Reservoir, nestled in the Eldorado National Forest at an elevation of 4,260 feet. Experience the thrill of flat-water paddling amidst the fresh aroma of pine and the pristine waters, where hungry fish are plentiful and the views are breathtaking.

Tucked away in the Sierra Nevada foothills, 17 miles east of Georgetown on Wentworth Springs Road, Stumpy Meadows Reservoir offers a secluded paddling destination with a varied shoreline - from steep, rocky inclines to low, pine-covered hills. The reservoir's 5 mph boat speed limit ensures superb, peaceful paddling conditions.

Despite its remote location, Stumpy Meadows Reservoir is well-stocked, with annual plantings of 16,000 rainbow trout and 2,000 brown trout in the 10-12 inch range, as well as 20,000 fingerling browns. This makes it an ideal destination for both paddling and fishing in a tranquil, natural setting.
