Kayaking Bog Reservoir
  

Big Reservoir, also known as Morning Star, is located in the Tahoe National Forest, in a lush wonderland of magnificent pines and conifers towering above the shore. The reservoir is a relatively small body of water and only has a surface area of 80 acres. Big Reservoir is a haven for paddlers during the fall, spring and summer.

The reservoir’s 5-mph boat speed limit, two-and-a-quarter miles of shoreline and campground setting also make it a popular destination for campers and anglers.

Aside from kayaking, canoeing and fishing, there’s a host of other activities which you and your family or friends will enjoy, such as paddle boarding, for instance. There are also hiking and bicycling trails and off-road four wheeling opportunities at Big Reservoir. In the summer, the lake’s water is warm enough for swimming.

Here comes the BUT.... the management is something else. Read the YELP reviews. It’s a real shame because it is a beautiful place to paddle and camp.
