Located west of Ice House and Wrights Reservoir,
Union Valley Reservoir is an outstanding
paddling destination. Many campsites are within
steps from the water’s edge, so you can easily
hand launch your boat from your campsite. Three
launch access locations intersperse the
reservoir, which allows novice paddlers to
paddle different sections.
In addition to superb paddling opportunities
and perfect campsite settings, the reservoir
provides miles of hiking trails in the
woodlands. Union Valley Reservoir is also a
popular place for windsurfing due to the
windy afternoon conditions that frequently
occur. Paddling at the break of dawn offers
you the opportunity to catch a glimpse of
the abundant wildlife in the area.
Trolling for trout in your kayak or canoe
around the lake’s 23-miles of shoreline
offers superb fishing opportunities,
especially for rainbow trout. Union Valley
Reservoir produces a good supply of rainbow
trout and even a few mackinaws (lake trout).
This pretty reservoir also provides good
fishing action for brown trout, salmon,
small and largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill
and catfish. Mackinaws are taken in the 10
to 20 range every year, but fishing for
rainbow trout is more consistent.
There is also an abundance of smallmouth
bass in numerous picturesque coves around
its twenty-three miles of shoreline.
Pack your kayak, c amping gear and rods and
head out to Union Valley Reservoir. Stay for
a few days and take in the peacefulness
beneath a night sky of a million stars. The
memories will stay with you forever.
