Stampede Reservoir offers unparalleled paddling opportunities, but it is best known for fishing, camping, and waterskiing. The stunning scenery throughout its twenty-five miles of shore is one of the reasons this is a popular boating and camping spot during the summer. Unfortunately, the reservoir can become congested with park visitors and boat traffic on summer weekends. Stampede Reservoir offers a peaceful and scenic environment to camp and swim. Designated sandy swimming beach areas are located near the campgrounds. Unfortunately, the one boat launch access does not allow novice paddlers to paddle the reservoir in sections, unless they paddle back and forth along the southern shore. There are also sizable 12 inch rainbow trout, and brown trout in the 2-4 pound range which you’ll have more success hooking immediately after the ice melts off the lakes’ surface, up until the lake’s water temperature warms up. Brown trout and kokanee salmon plus catchable rainbow trout are planted yearly.
