East Park Reservoir offers a variety of
activities including boating, fishing,
camping, swimming and paddling. You can
boat-in camp on a few islands for paddlers
who enjoy primitive camping destinations.
The western arm near the primitive boat
launch is the perfect spot for novice
paddlers. In addition to excellent paddling
opportunities, there are miles of hiking
trails that wind around the lake and
throughout the park.
There is no charge for camping, day use, or
launch fee. Perhaps because there are no
boat launches, no showers, no running water,
no electricity and only a few
port-a-potties.Closer to the entrance, the
campsites have picnic tables, but further
out there aren’t any tables. If these few
drawbacks don’t bother you, East Park
Reservoir provides a pleasurable paddling
experience.
East Park Reservoir provides year round
kayak angling for a thriving population of
warm-water fish, including small and
largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and
bluegill.
The ideal time of year for bass fishing is
in the spring and early summer in the coves
located on the southern end of the lake. In
the summer, the heat can become oppressive
and the lake’s water level is drawn down.
