Yes, you can bring your own boat, or rent one right at the lake. This is a very boater friendly lake and we highly recommend it. It is however a non-motorized lake, so please keep this in mind.

Is there a boat launch?

Yes, the lake’s marina has a very nice concrete launching ramp.

What you need to know:

This is a true lake community and as such there are numerous things to do here besides boating and fishing. You’ll be able to enjoy horseback riding, hiking, and numerous other outdoor sports during your stay here. This is a great lake for adventuring and the staff is incredibly helpful. We really enjoyed our time on this lake and found it to be well above our expectations.

The lake shore is split up into three distinct areas and each one has a campground. The current management has done a lot to improve the quality of the beaches and the campsites and their attention to detail is apparent. New restrooms were recently added and overall, they’ve done a great job bringing everything up to date.

Please note that this is actually a private lake, so you will need to call ahead to get a guest pass before you arrive, unless you have a friend who happens to be a resident of the community. It’s actually very easy to get your pass, and it is well worth the effort. This is a very fun lake to visit and it is very well suited for family getaways.

Is camping allowed?

Yes, there are numerous campsites or if you prefer a little less rugged accommodations, there are numerous resorts and hotels in the area.

What kind of fish will I find here?

There are many varieties of fish here, including some great catfish, bluegill and the usual crappie. The management has done a great job stocking the lake and you should have no problem landing a fish here.

Are there any regulations I need to know about?

Yes, the usual daily catch limits will apply and you will need to have a current California fishing license before you are allowed to fish. If you will be operating a boat, you’ll need to have your California license and boat registration. This is true whether you are renting or bringing your own craft. In addition, lake management states that you will need a HVLA sticker to launch your boat without a fee. That means that residents are typically the only ones allowed this privilege. However, the fee is minimal for non residents.

Is there a marina?

Yes, there is a marina on site and we found them to be incredibly helpful. The concrete launch ramp is in great shape and we were surprised at just how well everything is kept up. If you would like to store your boat here, there is a $30 monthly fee. A very nice marina!

Your information about Hidden Valley Lake(HVL), California is inaccurate. HVL is a private Homeowners Association; only members are allowed to use their registered boats on the Lake. There are no boats for rent, and there are boat and motor size limitations on member owner boats. Fishing is only permitted for members and their registered guests. There are no Catfish in the Lake.
