Little Grass Valley Reservoir is located near Oroville, CA
About:
This is a truly unique reservoir that we believe everyone should visit at least once in their lifetimes. The best time to go is in the spring, when the wildflowers are in full bloom. There are few sights on earth that can equal this wilderness area in the spring. The lake is more than 1600 acres and the shoreline stretched out over sixteen miles. If you are looking to take a fishing trip in April or May, this one should be first on your list.
The levels in the reservoir are generally good, but during a dry season it can be a little low. We recommend calling ahead to check before you arrive. The weather here is normally good, but it can change at the drop of a hat. Bring your rain clothing with you and remember to pack a sweatshirt or sweater, since some variation in temperatures can occur with little warning.
Is Camping Allowed:
Yes, camping is allowed and there are quite a few sites that are available. They are very well maintained and we did not find that there was overcrowding, even during the most popular visitor time.
Available Campsites:
Running Deer
Red Feather
Little Beaver
Wyandotte
Peninsula Tent
Black Rock
Total Units: 290
Please note the following information:
All sites provide tables but most areas are for day use only. Campgrounds are open from June 1 to October 1, and there are fees. While trailers are allowed, please note that there are no water hookups. Fresh water is usually not available, so it is best to bring your own, or bring a purifier with you.
Is Boating Allowed?
Yes, boating is allowed on the lake, but there are a minimum of services available. There is a boat launch, but you're pretty much on your own. Most supplies can be purchased in La Porte, but it is best to bring everything you need with you.
What Kind of Fish Can I Catch Here?
This is one of the best places we've found for trout. You'll find a huge variety here, including rainbow and brown. Catfish can also be found in the lake, as well as a few bluegill and even the occasional crappie. The lake is stocked so you won't have to worry about not finding enough trout during your stay.
Do I Need to Know About Any Regulations?
Yes, there is a daily limit to the amount of fish you can take, and you will need to have a current fishing license. If you will be boating, it must be properly registered and you must have a boating license. Some campsites have additional rules. Please check with lake management before arriving. The red wildflowers that are visible during spring are not free for the taking according to the ranger district. This is apparently quite a problem.
