Mountain Meadows Reservoir is like being on a
treasure hunt. If you can find the reservoir,
you have found the treasure. You notice that I
said “if”. Finding this reservoir in a maze of
dirt roads through a towering conifer forest
will almost guarantee you will become lost
either on the way to the reservoir or on the way
back out. If I didn’t know for certain there was
a reservoir of a relatively large size, on my
first visit, I would have sworn Mountain Meadows
Reservoir didn’t exist.
It took me more than two hours zigzagging
back and forth on dirt roads through the
dense forest to find the reservoir. It may
also be a problem for you to find this
mysterious retreat because trees were being
cleared to lay new roads when I was here.
Unfortunately, none of the dirt roads were
marked, and it is extremely easy to lose
your bearings, but once you find this pretty
reservoir, you’ll be glad you did.
The beautiful natural setting of Mountain
Meadows Reservoir, with very few fac ilities,
provides a peaceful paddling experience. You
are liable to be the only one
there. Recreation use at Mountain Meadows
Reservoir is primarily fishing, canoeing,
kayaking, and paddle boarding.
