Oxbow Reservior - El Dorado & Placer County, California


Visited 01/21/2018 – Jeff and I loaded up our two dogs, Summer and Skye and took a nice Sunday drive up to the Sierra Foothills in our Jeep Wrangler.  Just above Sugar Pine Reservoir we encountered lots of snow from the recent storms.  Even though we did not have chains, we kicked it into 4 wheel drive and did just fine navigating the snow packed roads.  After we played in the snow on Forest Hill Road near Robinson Flat we traveled back down the hill to Forest Hill and proceeded down the canyon to Oxbow Reservoir.  Oxbow Reservoir is located at the bottom of canyon on the middle fork of the American River just four miles south of town of Forest Hill.  It is a 7 acre reservoir at the elevation of 1,168 feet above sea level.  This reservoir is an artificially impounded body of water (lake, tank).
