Jackson Meadow Reservoir is a true paddler's
paradise in the Tahoe National Forest. This
serene mountain lake offers a blissful
escape from the stresses of everyday life,
inviting visitors to bask in its tranquil
beauty. The sheer splendor of this paddling
oasis is simply breathtaking.
Paddling at sunrise is a magical experience,
as the morning sun burns away the night and
bathes the landscape in a mystical glow.
Many consider autumn the best time to paddle
here, when the changing foliage adds to the
area's natural allure.
Jackson Meadows Reservoir is an outdoor
enthusiast's dream, with sparkling,
crystal-clear blue waters, awe-inspiring
vistas, scenic hiking trails, and
first-class fishing. Kayak anglers will find
abundant populations of rainbow and brown
trout, with the best bites typically
occurring in the early morning starting in
June. However, many anglers arrive too late
in the day, missing the prime feeding times.
The reservoir is nestled in a rolling,
forested valley, offering paddlers stunning
views of the Sierra Crest and English
Mountain. In addition to paddling, the lake
provides opportunities for boating, canoeing,
water skiing, swimming, and stand-up
paddleboarding. Jackson Meadows also
features a campground with incredible vistas
of the lake.
