Collins Lake lies at an elevation of 1,200
feet in Yuba County, nestled amid the
rolling foothills of California's Gold
Country. This man-made lake has become a
popular destination for paddling, camping,
and other outdoor recreation, with over 12
miles of shoreline to explore.
Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Collins Lake
year-round to enjoy the scenic beauty and
variety of activities on offer. The lake has
become a hotspot for kayaking, canoeing, and
paddleboarding, with numerous picturesque
coves to explore in the northern section.
Designated fishing and waterskiing zones
allow for those activities, though
waterskiing is restricted to certain times
of year.
Collins Lake is renowned for its excellent
fishing, particularly for trophy-size trout.
It also supports abundant
 populations
of bass, catfish, bluegill, and crappie.
Fishing for trout is best in the spring,
while bass fishing peaks in early summer.
However, the lake can become quite crowded
on summer weekends due to its popularity.
