Miles of Shoreline: 1 Surface Acres:
N/A Elevation: 8200’
Paddle Notes: Nestled high in the
mountains at
 about
8200’ feet elevations lies this superb paddling destination,
with scenery so dramatic it will be etched in your memory for
a lifetime. Woods Lake was beautiful to behold. Dazzling
reflective images on the water’s surface of the majestic
mountains and towering stands of ponderosa pines can be seen
at the break of day. The gorgeous surrounding scenery and
shaded campsite setting easily put it on the Top Twenty List.
A more stunningly beautiful paddling destination can scarcely
be imagined. It’s a shame the lake is so small. This tiny
alpine lake with its rocky shoreline and steep massive
mountain jutting up from the shore provides photographic
opportunities and a quiet solitude while drifting on its
peaceful waters fishing the afternoon away.

Wind & Weather Conditions:
Woods Lake is located in the Sierra Nevada
Mountain Range and offers paddling opportunities during the
summertime only due to the heavy snowfall beginning in early
fall and continuing through late spring. The air temperature
in the early morning and at night can drop into the late 30s
and 40s during the summer, but the daytime high air
temperature averages about 75 degrees.
Kayak Fishing: There’s no question the
scenery is one thousand times better than the fishing at Woods
Lake but there is fairly good action for catching rainbow
trout in the 10 to 12 inch class which 2,500 are planted
yearly. Visitors

enjoy kayaking and canoeing, camping,
fishing, and hiking at Woods Lake.
Terrain: Massive granite boulders
poke out from the water’s surface providing intriguing views
like you’ve never seen before. Twenty-five tent sites
interspersed beneath tall ponderosa pines and firs in a
thickly wooded area are available on a first-come, first-
come, first-served basis. I’d consider Woods Lake more of
a pond than a lake, but either way, you don’t want to pass by
it without at least stopping to view its outstanding beauty.
Try to plan your arrival time at the break of day to capture
the gorgeous sunrise reflective images on the lake’s water
surface.
Open: The lake and campground are open
seven days a week from June to October, weather permitting.
Boats with motors are not allowed.
Fees: There is a fee to camp and for
pets, but no day use or launch fee.
Directions: From the town of Meyers,
take Highway 89 south twelve miles to Highway 88. Drive about
nine-and-a-half miles on Highway 88 to Woods Lake Road
turn-off and turn left. (Woods Lake is about three-and-a-half
miles west of Red Lake.) Drive one mile south to the
campground on the right. RVs and trailers are not advised to
drive on Woods Lake Road.
