Englebright Reservoir (Narrows)

Englebright Reservoir, known as Englebright Lake, offers a scenic and serene boating experience in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The lake is nestled in a steep canyon, providing a unique boat-in camping opportunity for paddlers and boaters.

There are two public boat ramps available - one at the Narrows Day Use Area near the dam, and the other at the Joe Miller Ravine Ramp. These ramps provide access to the upper 4 miles of the lake, although this section is not suitable for water-skiing or towing inflatables due to the narrow canyons and sharp bends. Paddlers and small boaters can enjoy exploring the lake's calm waters, surrounded by the rugged Sierra landscape.

Nearby recreation includes the Englebright Lake Boat-In Campground, which is reservable through Recreation.gov. Anglers will find a variety of sport fish in the lake. Visitors are encouraged to check the latest fees and regulations before their visit.
