This seldom paddled lake is perfect for those
who enjoy drifting quietly on calm waters at
isolated destinations. An uncrowded atmosphere
and breathtaking views provide quiet solitude
while floating on its peaceful waters, which is
about all you can do on this less than a
quarter-of-a-mile shore-line lake. One drawback
to Kelly Lake, (besides its size) is the water
surface was completely overgrown with a water
shield plant when I was here.
There was a small unpaved hand launch area
along the lake access road. There aren’t any
camping facilities located at Kelly Lake.
The nearest campground is at Lake Valley
Reservoir, which is located a couple of
miles southwest off of Lake Valley Road.
Kelly Lake is planted with a few, not many,
rainbow trout and fingerlings, but due to
the abundance of weeds and lily pads
overtaking the lake’s water surface, you’re
liking to call it a day after a few casts
when your lure gets hung up on the water
vegetation. For those who have a lot of
patience, the best fishing action is in
the
springtime right after the ice melts.
Kelly Lake is perfect for a peaceful day
relaxing on the water while reading a good
book.
