User input for Utica Reservoir, Northern Sierra Nevada, Alpine County, California:
Dave Mayer: First Canoe trip here back in 1992. Last trip 4th of July 2006. Great lake to kayak. Last Trip many kayakers. The road is car accessible but rough in spots. Campers at boat launch (hand launch only) are often a drunken rowdy group. Bear warnings now posted but not back in the 1990's. Good fishing. Lake feeds to Union below. Do not expect fish there. DFG is not stocking in 2009. Lake is lowered most years for power generation. Several Islands to camp on. Short off trail hike to Elephant Rock and Summit lakes for die hard trail blazers. Not far from Spicer Meadows. Mid week non holidays expect minimal use.

In California there are many beautiful lakes, Utica Reservoir is one of them. A lot of precipitation falls at Utica Reservoir; most of the snow falls through January, and the driest month is July. All year is a splendid time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you love the outdoors. Really perfect skiing awaits you at Bear Valley, and glide down the rapids of Stanislaus River - Middle Fork in a kayak. Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Northern

You could also stop at Lake Alpine since you're here at Utica Reservoir; it's nearby, and Slick Rock is an out of the ordinary location to stop at while at Utica Reservoir. Utica Reservoir is a beautiful lake in the Northern Sierra Nevada. There's just no way anyone can get bored | |
