Fordyce Lake:

This large, very attractive, rugged and remote reservoir requires access by 4WD and, naturally, trailers are out of the question.

48,900 Acre Feet, elevation 6402’.

Boating: No motors allowed and no boat ramp. Southwesterly winds can be high, but attractive place for flat water paddlers. Pacific Gas & Electric operated with significant lake fluctuations and draw downs by mid-summer.

Fishing: Browns and rainbows are planted each year, with resident native eastern brook. The lake has a hot and cold reputation, but has improved since the recent dam overhaul.

Camping: A few primitive campsites located near the 4WD road.
