Nestled high in the mountains at about 8200’
feet elevation lies this tiny, but superb
paddling destination, with scenery so dramatic
it will be etched in your memory for a lifetime.
Woods Lake was beautiful to behold. Dazzling
reflective images on the water’s surface of the
majestic mountains and towering stands of
ponderosa pines can be seen at the break of day.
A more stunningly beautiful paddling destination
can scarcely be imagined. It’s a shame the lake
is so small.
Woods Lake provides some of the best
camping, and photography opportunities in
the entire state, with its rocky shoreline
and steep massive mountain jutting up from
the shore. In addition to enjoying a quiet
solitude while drifting on its peaceful
waters, the photographic opportunities here
are endless.Woods Lake offers paddlers a
beautiful location for other outdoor
activities as well.
Wildlife and
birdwatchers will be delighted with the
number of bird species that fly over Woods
Lake, and miles of beautiful hiking trails
is another attraction this outdoor sport paradise
has to offer.There’s no question the scenery
is one thousand times better than the
fishing at Woods Lake, but there is fairly
good action for catching rainbow trout
in
the 10 to 12 inch class, which 2,500 are
planted yearly.
Visitors can enjoy kayaking and canoeing,
camping, fishing, and hiking at Woods Lake.
