Indian Valley Reservoir is renowned for its
crystal-clear, azure waters and stunning
natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy a variety
of watersports, including kayaking,
swimming, canoeing, and kayak fishing. The
area also offers abundant wildlife viewing,
nature trails, and primitive camping
opportunities. However, the lake may not be
well-stocked with fish due to recent years
of drought.
This secluded reservoir is situated in a
picturesque setting, surrounded by low
foothills blanketed in colorful vegetation,
oak, and chaparral that extend to the
water's edge. The lush, tranquil
surroundings provide the perfect backdrop
for paddling along the reservoir's 22-mile
shoreline. There are two launch locations,
one at each end, though the northern boat
launch can be quite challenging to reach due
to the rough, narrow, pitted, and winding
access road.
Despite these access challenges, the
reservoir can still be enjoyed by novice
paddlers. The narrow distance between
shorelines, lack of powerboat traffic, and
10 m.p.h. speed limit allow for easy,
relaxed paddling across the entire
reservoir.
Whether visiting for a day, a long week end,
or an extended stay, Indian Valley Reservoir
offers ample opportunities to immerse
oneself in the water, stunning scenery, and
abundant wildlife.
