Union Reservoir and the adjoining Utica
Reservoir are set in the Sierra Nevada
mountains at an elevation of 6,850 feet.
Union Reservoir is an outdoor paradise,
offering fresh blue waters, awe-inspiring
scenery, excellent hiking trails, and
first-class walk-in campsites around its
shores. There are even a few islands that
provide excellent boat-in camping
opportunities.
Whether you visit for a day, a weekend, or
an extended stay, Union Reservoir provides
ample opportunities for paddling and
enjoying the beautiful, peaceful
surroundings. All the ingredients for a
perfect paddling outing can be found here.
Anglers flock to Union Reservoir for its
consistently good trout fishing. The
reservoir is stocked annually with 10-12
inch rainbow and eagle lake trout by the
Department of Fish and Game, offering better
fishing than the unstocked Utica Reservoir.
Union Reservoir is also stocked with Kokanee
salmon fingerlings.
While power boats are prohibited, Union
Reservoir can be explored by strong paddlers
on day trips. Recreational activities
include swimming, stand-up paddleboarding,
canoeing, kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking
the miles of trails.
Whether you prefer a leisurely paddle or
casting a line, Union Reservoir has it all.
For the adventurous, this unspoiled natural
wonder is a must-visit destination.
