Stampede Reservoir offers unparalleled paddling
opportunities, but it is best known for fishing,
camping, and waterskiing. The stunning scenery
throughout its twenty-five miles of shore is one
of the reasons this is a popular boating and
camping spot during the summer. Unfortunately,
the reservoir can become congested with park
visitors and boat traffic on summer weekends.
Stampede Reservoir offers a peaceful and
scenic environment to camp and swim.
Designated sandy swimming beach areas are
located near the campgrounds. Unfortunately,
the one boat launch access does not allow
novice paddlers to paddle the reservoir in
sections, unless they paddle back and forth
along the southern shore.
There are also sizable 12 inch rainbow
trout, and brown trout in the 2-4 pound
range which you’ll have more success hooking
immediately after the ice melts off the
lakes’ surface, up until the lake’s water
temperature warms up. Brown trout and
kokanee salmon plus catchable rainbow trout
are planted yearly.
Stampede
Reservoir offers endless recreational
opportunities, and paddlers are bound to
discover new adventures upon every visit.
