East Park Reservoir

East Park Reservoir is a Bureau of Reclamation lake in the foothills of the Mendocino National Forest near Stonyford, managed for public recreation by Colusa County under a long-term partnership with Reclamation. The reservoir has roughly 25 miles of shoreline and a warm-water fishery of largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill, with two natural boat launches offering easy shore access. Camping is allowed at designated campsites, group areas, and general lakeside areas, with basic sites running about fifteen dollars a night and designated sites with full lake access around twenty. The county issues reservations and passes for camping, boat launching, and day use through its own recreation office, and the remote, rolling backcountry setting makes it a quiet stop for travelers routing through the northern Sacramento Valley foothills.
