About This Access Site
Boca Reservoir offers a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. Located just north of Truckee, California, the reservoir is part of the Truckee Storage Project on the Little Truckee River.

The boat ramp provides easy access to the reservoir, which is popular for a variety of water sports including boating, water skiing, and windsurfing. Kayaking and canoeing are best in the calm morning and evening hours when the water is glassy. The reservoir also offers year-round fishing opportunities.

A day-use area with a handicap-accessible fishing platform is available when the reservoir water level is high enough. Nearby campgrounds like Boca Rest Campground provide lodging options for those looking to spend more time exploring the Boca Reservoir area.
