About This Access Site
Orchard Springs Resort on Rollins Lake offers a convenient public boat ramp and access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp is located on the shore of the 2,200-acre lake, providing easy access to explore the scenic lake surrounded by the Sierra Nevada foothills.

The ramp can accommodate boats up to 24 feet long, with ample parking available for vehicles with trailers. There are two sandy beach areas nearby, as well as a small marina with boat slips. The resort also rents out various watercraft, making it a good option for those without their own kayaks or canoes.

Rollins Lake is a popular destination for water recreation, with generally calm waters well-suited for paddling and motorized boating. Boaters should be aware of potential wind and wave conditions, as the lake can experience breezes funneling through the surrounding canyons. Overall, Orchard Springs offers a well-equipped launch site to access this picturesque Sierra Nevada reservoir.
