Don Pedro Lake is one of the
busiest water recreation lakes in California.
It is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Over half a million visitors a year enjoy
fishing, paddling, boating, and camping at Don
Pedro Lake.
Recreational
paddlers should be prepared for the
possibility of gusty wind before they set
out at Don Pedro Lake. For that reason,
paddling earlier in the morning is
advisable due to the gusty wind conditions
common in this area. It is also advisable to
paddle close-by the shoreline due to the
amount of boat traffic and to sit out the
wind while waiting for calmer weather. Along
the way, you’ll have ample opportunities to
see a variety of wildlife and birds.
Kayak fishing
provides excellent opportunities to catch
trout, salmon, black bass, catfish and
bluegill. You might even pull in a few
smallmouth or spotted bass.Kayak fishing
