Big Sage Reservoir

Big Sage Reservoir is a large, scenic lake located in northeast California's Modoc County. The reservoir is surrounded by juniper woodland and sagebrush, providing a picturesque setting for paddlers and boaters.

A public boat ramp is available just north of the dam, offering easy access to the reservoir. The ramp is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small powerboats. Anglers can also take advantage of the boat ramp to fish the waters of Big Sage Reservoir, which is known for its trout and bass populations.

The reservoir itself covers several thousand acres, providing ample space for exploration and recreation. Paddlers and boaters can enjoy scenic views of the surrounding landscape as they navigate the calm waters. Nearby recreation areas, such as the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge and Modoc National Forest, offer additional opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and other outdoor activities.
