Kayaking Union Valley Reservoir
  

Nestled west of Ice House and Wrights Reservoir, Union Valley Reservoir is an outstanding paddling destination. Steps from the water's edge, numerous campsites allow easy hand-launching of boats. Three access points along the reservoir enable novice paddlers to explore different sections.

In addition to superb paddling and ideal campsites, the reservoir offers miles of hiking trails through its forested surroundings. The windy afternoon conditions also make Union Valley a popular spot for windsurfing. Paddling at dawn provides opportunities to glimpse the area's abundant wildlife.

Trolling for trout in your kayak or canoe along the 23-mile shoreline offers excellent fishing, especially for rainbow trout. The reservoir is well-stocked with rainbow and lake trout, as well as brown trout, salmon, bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. While larger Mackinaw (lake trout) are occasionally caught, the rainbow trout fishing tends to be more consistent.

Pack your kayak, camping gear, and rods to experience the peaceful serenity of Union Valley Reservoir. Spend a few days under the night sky's million stars—the memories will be lasting.
