After the solitary drive through towering
pine forests and the awesome giant redwood
trees in the McKinley Grove, little did I
realize the sight that awaited me at
Courtright Reservoir. Your first view of
this mystical reservoir is of the unusual
dome-shaped rock formations, which create a
surreal atmosphere, perhaps like you would
imagine seeing in another world.
Regardless of your experience level,
paddling Courtrght Lake is an adventure of a
lifetime! As you paddle across the lake’s
glassy water, you will witness the
breathtaking scenery consisting of beautiful
mountains and forests. It’s a sight you
don’t want to miss. The surprisingly
peaceful paddle offers plenty of wildlife
sightings.
Courtright Reservoir is a picturesque high
sierra lake that offers outstanding
opportunities for paddling, camping,
hiking, and horseback riding. This lake is perfect for paddling
and fishing, so keep that in mind when
making your plans. A public boat launching
facility is available at the south end of
the lake, no fees or permits are required.
T here
are six small remnant giant sequoia groves
in the area, including Wishon, Silver Creek,
Burro, Maggie Mountain, Middle Tule and
Upper Tule Groves that are worth checking
out.
