The soul-stirring scenic forty mile drive
through a dense forest on a smoothly paved road
to Mammoth Pool Reservoir was a pleasant relief
after just driven to Thomas Edison Lake. If you
have ever gone to Thomas Edison Lake, you will
know what I mean! For those of you who want to
be a part of nature, there are campsites deep in
the woods along the road on the way to this
reservoir.
My first glimpse of Mammoth Pool Reservoir
was from the Mile High Vista Point, which
offers an awesome 180 degree view of this
magical place, unusual dome-shaped rock
formations, and a dam that gives you the
feeling you could paddle to the edge of the
world and fall-off.
Mammoth Pool Reservoir offers superb kayak
angling opportunities for rainbow, eastern
brook, and German brown trout. Fishing is
prohibited on the from May 1st until June
16th for migrating deer.
The reservoir also offers
outstanding opportunities for boating and water sports
such as canoeing, kayaking, and SUP
paddle
boarding. Stop by and
enjoy boating, kayaking, paddle boarding,
canoeing, hiking, or fishing from the shore.
