This long narrow reservoir provides exhilarating
views for as far as your eyes can see. Located
on the Rubicon River at 4700’ feet elevation,
this magnificent boulder-lined shoreline is a
paradise for adventurous paddlers who don’t mind
desolate destinations that are a challenge just
to get there. The winding lake access road is a
long, slow drive.
Hell Hole Reservoir’s out-of-the-way
location helps decrease the crowds and boat
congestion. The lake is rarely crowded, even
at the height of summer. It wouldn’t be
unusual to discover you were the only soul
around.
Hell Hole Reservoir is a beautiful and
enjoyable place to paddle. The three and a
half mile long artificial lake is divided
into three distinct sections: Upper Hell
Hole, the Narrows, and Lower Hell Hole.
There are numerous small islands to explore
on the lake, as well. The peak month for
high water levels in Hell Hole reservoir is
May, after which the lake’s water levels
start to gradually decrease.
Many paddlers really enjoy paddling around
this tranquil lake while trolling for
 trout.
Hell Hole Reservoir is a prime kayak angling
destination for kokanee salmon, mackinaw,
rainbow and brown trout. Trolling deep for
browns, mackinaws and kokanee salmon is your
best option.
