Indian Valley Reservoir is known for its clear,
blue water and beauty. Kayaking is among the
many activities available to the
watersport. Paddlers can also enjoy swimming,
canoeing, and kayak fishing. The area offers an
abundance of wildlife viewing, nature
trails, kayak fishing and primitive camping
opportunities, and unless they have
restocked the lake, there’s not going to be
many fish because of recent years of
drought.
This secluded reservoir is situated in a
picturesque setting, surrounded by low
foothills covered with colorful vegetation,
oak, chaparral and oak that come to the
water’s edge.The lush surroundings provide
the perfect backdrop while paddling
throughout its 22-miles of shoreline. There
are two launch locations positioned on the
northern and southern ends of the reservoir.
The northern boat launch is quite a
challenge to reach due to the rough, narrow,
pitted, and winding dirt access road.
The reservoir can still be enjoyed by novice
paddlers because of the narrow distance
between the shorelines, the lack of
powerboat traffic, and the 10mph boat speed
limit, which allows you to easily paddle
across the reservoir to the opposite
shoreline.
Whether you visit for a day,
a leisurely
long weekend, or an extended stay, Indian
Valley Reservoir will provide you with ample
opportunities to enjoy the water, beautiful
scenery and wildlife.
