Whatever kind of paddling you prefer,
there are a plethora of places to paddle in
California. While in the Central California,
you simply must paddle Convict Lake. This is
a once in a lifetime experience and an ideal
spot if you love beautiful scenery and
paddling on tranquil waters. Convict Lake is
considered by many to be one of the most
beautiful lakes to photograph in the eastern
Sierra, with rugged peaks surrounding the
lake’s clear, cold waters.
Autumn .is the perfect time to paddle Convict
Lake, with brilliant fall colors and
excellent kayaking, canoeing, fishing and
camping opportunities. Convict Lake itself
is about one mile long by a half mile wide
and lies at 7,600’ elevation. The lake is
situated amidst the beautiful scenery of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. The lake is
bordered by mountain peaks with a few stands
of aspen and pine trees along the rocky
shoreline.
If you are looking for a destination with
hordes of rainbows and a few browns, and
brook trout, Convict Lake is the place to go
for a kayak angler. Kayak fishing
opportunities are excellent for rainbow and
brown trout in late spring and early fall,
but you can also get some nice catches in
the summer. This is a productive early
season lake for some quality rainbows and
locals prefer either the early part of
spring or late fall for big browns.
The
lake is primarily used by fishermen, fishing
from
 along the embankment. Or perhaps you
would like to try your luck at catching a
monster trout from your kayak .
