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.
