OutdoorEasySummerYear-round

Itinerary tips

  • 1Arrive before 9:00 AM to secure a parking spot at the main boat ramp or the designated swim beach area.
  • 2Allocate at least three hours to explore the narrow northern inlets where the red rock formations are most dramatic.
  • 3Rent boards directly on-site at Dig Paddlesports if you do not have your own equipment to avoid transport logistics.
  • 4Pack a physical state park pass or $15 for the day-use fee required at the entrance gate.
  • 5Bring a waterproof dry bag for your phone and keys, as the reservoir's center can experience light wakes from motorized boats.
  • 6Visit on a weekday to avoid the heavy local crowds that frequent the shoreline on Saturdays and Sundays.
