Early mornings often find kayaks skimming
across the glassy surface of Ruth Lake, a
hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts. Nestled
amidst a thick forest of towering ponderosa
pines, this beautiful lake offers a wealth
of recreational activities, from sailing and
windsurfing to mountain climbing and
off-road adventures. Paddling is one of the
most popular choices, but visitors can also
enjoy hiking, bicycling, horseback riding,
and all manner of boating.
On hot summer days, visitors can cool off in
the lake's refreshing waters, keeping an eye
out for the abundant wildlife that calls
this area home, including deer, bears,
eagles, and osprey. For anglers, Ruth Lake
provides excellent fishing opportunities,
with a focus on rainbow trout in the winter
and spring, as well as smallmouth bass,
catfish, and occasional kokanee salmon. The
best trout fishing can be found at the
northern end of the lake during the cooler
months.
Ruth Lake is surrounded by seven picturesque
campgrounds, providing its visitors with a
variety of amenities.
Despite its wealth of recreational options,
Ruth Lake remains relatively uncrowded,
thanks to its secluded location .
This hidden gem offers a true escape for
those seeking outdoor adventure and natural
beauty.
