Mammoth Pool Reservoir

Mammoth Pool Reservoir Kayak, Canoe, SUP & Kayak Fishing Information
The soul-stirring scenic forty mile
drive through a dense forest on a smoothly paved
road to Mammoth Pool Reservoir was a pleasant relief
after just driven to Thomas Edison Lake. If you have
ever gone to Thomas Edison Lake, you will know what
I mean! For those of you who want to be a part of
nature, there are campsites deep in the woods along
the road on the way to this reservoir.
My first glimpse of Mammoth Pool Reservoir was from the Mile High Vista Point, which offers an awesome 180 degree view of this magical place, unusual dome-shaped rock formations, and a dam that gives you the feeling you could paddle to the edge of the world and fall-off.
Kayak Fishing: Mammoth Pool Reservoir offers superb kayak angling opportunities for rainbow, eastern brook, and German brown trout. Fishing is prohibited on the from May 1st until June 16th for migrating deer.
