The Success Lake Tule and Rocky Hill Recreation Areas provide boating access to the scenic Success Lake in east Porterville, California. This U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility is currently undergoing construction, with the Rocky Hill Recreation Area and boat launch ramp fully closed to the public.
For those looking to access Success Lake, the nearest alternative boat ramps are located at the North Tule and South Tule campgrounds, both within 10 miles of the Rocky Hill site. Success Lake offers great fishing and boating opportunities, with the serene Sierra Nevada mountains as a backdrop. Paddlers and small boaters should be aware of the lake's size and potential wind conditions when planning their outings. Camping is available at the nearby North Tule and South Tule campgrounds, though the Rocky Hill Campground remains closed.
Before visiting, it's recommended to check the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website for the latest updates on access and facilities at the Success Lake recreation areas. With patience and flexibility, outdoor enthusiasts can still enjoy the natural beauty of this Central Valley reservoir.
