The New Bullards Bar Reservoir, nestled in
the Tahoe and Plumas National Forest, offers
a wealth of scenic coves to explore. The
upper northern arms of the reservoir provide
unparalleled views of the granite cliffs in
the North Yuba Canyon. Avid birdwatchers can
focus their binoculars on the abundant
wildlife, including bears fishing for trout
along the shore and majestic eagles soaring
overhead.
Beyond the exceptional paddling
opportunities, the reservoir provides a
multitude of outdoor activities for
enthusiasts. Visitors can enjoy swimming,
hiking, fishing, birdwatching, picnicking,
and various boating pursuits on the pristine
waters. For those seeking a more immersive
experience, the reservoir offers boat-in
campsites set in an unspoiled wooded area of
oak, pine, and dogwood. Overnight camping
requires a permit, though those preferring a
more traditional campground experience can
choose from five campgrounds surrounding the
reservoir.
The reservoir is renowned among local
anglers for its excellent summer largemouth
bass fishing. The best time to fish is after
the water level is drawn down in mid-summer.
