Lake Davis

Lake Davis was built in 1967. It was built to enhance the areas fishery and develop recreation. Its water flows into Grizzly Creek and to the Middle Fork of the Feather River. The lake is the center piece for the Lake Davis Recreation Area. It has three campgrounds, four boat launch facilities, several day use areas and fishing access points. The Lake Davis Trail meanders for 7 miles along the south and east sides of the lake. Large native fish and regular stocking of planted fish provide for normally productive fishing. Fishermen always say that the fishing is great, but once in a while they indicate that catching is another story. Skiing and jet skis are not allowed on this lake. Winter ice fishing is available.
