Whether you like to hike, camp or just get outside with your family, Indian Creek Reservoir is the place to go. Located about 40-miles southwest of Carson City, it rests on the eastern slope of the Sierra’s, at an elevation of 5,650-feet. With its beautiful location, Indian Creek Reservoir is ideal for activities such as biking, hiking, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing. The area also offers a family-friendly campground, with incredible views of wildlife such as black bears, coyotes, porcupines, squirrels and mule deer. Bird species you may see include golden and bald eagles, and several types of hawks and owls, woodpeckers, jays, blackbirds and sparrows. In spring and fall, ducks and geese frequent the area. You may also catch sightings of White Pelicans, Eared and California Quail skittering about.
On the east side of the Sierra Nevada near
Markleeville sits one of the most unusual
trout fishing spots in California. Indian
Creek Reservoir holds a good population of
rainbow, cut-throat and brown trout. A
variety of species of fish have been stocked
over the years, but currently rainbow trout
dominate. Indian Creek has it all… but paddling sports such as canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding are the main attraction. Map of Indian Creek Reservoir |
