There are so many things to do at Prosser Creek
Reservoir, from kayaking to boating, to paddle
boarding and canoeing. The reservoir’s 10mph
boat speed limit and restriction of jet and
waterskiing provides a peaceful and pleasurable
eleven mile paddle around the reservoir’s
perimeter when the water level is at full
capacity.
There are two main arms with a boat launch
access located in the middle of the
reservoir, which allows novice paddlers to
paddle the reservoir in two sections. Also,
the narrow distance between the shorelines
provides easy crossover access at any point.
The terrain consists of forested middle
elevation slopes and the starkly beautiful
landscape. The remote location makes for a
quiet and peaceful paddling experience.
The area is home to a variety of wildlife
and birds. Ample opportunities for short day
hikes exist in the surrounding area. There
wasn’t a single soul on the reservoir both
times I paddled here. The reservoir was void
of all watercraft and park visitors, most
likely due to the extremely low water level.
Prosser Creek Reservoir is not as congested
with watercraft as Boca and Stampede
Reservoirs due to its 10mph boat speed
limit, so it does offer fairly good fishing
opportunities in that regard, even when the
lake’s water level is drawn
down.
The inlets provide good fishing spots and
anglers have had success trolling from your
kayak for trout using flasher and worm
combinations.
