Anderson Lake
Anderson Lake Canoe, Kayak, SUP & Kayak Fishing Information
Anderson Lake offers superb kayaking and
kayak angling opportunities. It is a popular getaway in the summer
months and a
perfect outdoor aquatic spot to paddle during the
spring, late summer and early fall when the crowds
are gone. Weekends in the summer are often
jam-packed with park visitors, but during the winter and fall
the lake is pretty peaceful.
Fishing is permitted year-round. Fishing is also allowed in Coyote Creek during fishing season (April to November).
Anderson Lake is approximately seven-miles long and covers 1,250 surface acres at full water level capacity. The lake's shape and scenery is almost identical to its upstream neighbor Coyote Lake, only it's at least twice as long.
