Lake Pillsbury is nestled in the majestic
Mendocino National Forest. Towering
evergreens paint the scenery in deep emerald
hues, while vibrant blue skies and soaring
pines complete the picturesque setting.
Summer days are made perfect by the
interplay of pleasant air temperatures and
the lake's warm waters, inviting visitors to
enjoy lakeside picnics and endless hours of
leisure. An outing here promises to open
one's eyes to both new and timeless natural
wonders, though the challenging drive to
reach the lake may prove disappointing.
Anglers can look forward to an abundance of
rainbow trout, largemouth bass, sunfish, and
Sacramento pike in the lake's waters. The
California Department of Fish and Game
regularly stocks the lake with 18,000
rainbow trout each fall and spring. The arms
around the lake are renowned hot spots for
bass fishing in springtime, while summer
sees steady action for bass, sunfish, and
bluegill.
Camping at Lake Pillsbury basin is permitted
in Fuller Grove Campground, Navy Camp
Campground, Oak Flat Campground,Pogie Point
Campground, and Sunset Campground. Lake
Pillsbury Resort also offers tent and RV
camping.
The glassy surface of the lake re flects
the shimmering sunlight, creating a serene,
still atmosphere that instills a profound
sense of peace. Though the lake can
occasionally be shrouded in fog, the
breathtaking forested scenery surrounding it
remains a sight well worth experiencing.
