For those of you who are looking to fish, look
no further. This is a prime kayak fishing
destination, but there is a catch. Barrett Lake
is private. Reservations are a necessity.
Barrett Lake offers unique fishing
opportunities, but access is allowed on a
limited basis by reservation and on designated
days and hours from May to September.
Due to the fact that the entrance road
passes through private property, all parties
must be escorted on and off the premises. No
water body contact activities or private
motorized boats are allowed on Barrett Lake,
which rules out paddle boards. It reduces
the noise and congestion, lending to the
peacefulness of this fantastic spot.
While most people come here to fish, a
handful of people come to paddle. You don’t
need a boat to enjoy Barrett Lake, as the
breathtaking scenery makes for a spectacular
day of fishing. There are 14’ aluminum boats
available for rent with an 8 horsepower
outboard. You may bring your own motor if so
desired, max. 25hp. Most people like to
bring their own electric trolling motors to
use while fishing.
Spring
here is like spring everywhere, with the
most prolific floral covering around April,
with wildflowers changing the color of the
surrounding hills to green with patches of
amber and rust.
