Visited on 6/15/18 on a weekend camping adventurous trip to meet up with Jeff’s brother, Brian and his two nieces Hannah and Lauren up at Lava Beds National Monument near Tule Lake, CA we stopped at Fall River Lake in the small town of Fall River Mills, CA. Fall River Lake is a 194 acre lake located 14 miles east of Burney, CA and 69 miles east of Redding, CA. At an elevation of 3,304 above sea level, this scenic area has a wealth of native wildlife and vegetation. The water is as clear and healthy as any waters in California. It is home to an eclectic mix of migrating ducks, deer, various eagle species, heron, osprey, and many animals. It is difficult to describe how intoxicating this place is and how mesmerizing it’s many vistas. The one aspect that has kept it almost entirely secret is the limited access.
Fall River Lake
provides visitors with endless recreational opportunities. Kayaking and canoeing are a popular activity.
Anglers will find rainbow and brows to be plentiful. For birdwatchers and
nature lovers, there is waterfowl of all kinds.
Fall River Lake attracts outdoor enthusiast who love wildness and waters
of utmost purity!
The harmonious
atmosphere at this visited lake can provide a tranquil paddle uninterrupted by
noisy powerboat traffic and crowds.
Nature lovers, bird watchers, duck hunters and wilderness oriented fly
fishers covet this treasure. Those who seek the out of the way paddling
getaways will not be disappointed.The rutted dirt access is not well-maintained nor is it well marked, which makes the lake a little difficult to reach. It may also be one reason there was only one other boat on the lake besides myself on a holiday weekend. There are a handful of primitive boat-in campsites along the shore with vault toilets (but no water).
