View Vicinity Map Recommended Maps & Books Share With a Friend
Description: The Indian Valley area offers an abundance of recreational possibilities. Rolling chaparral-covered hills dotted with oak and pine make an ideal setting for hunting, camping, bicycling, hiking, and equestrian use. Popular game animals include blacktail deer, black bear, quail, dove, and wild turkey. For wildflower enthusiasts, pockets of the rare Indian Valley brodiaea and adobe lily can be found within the area.
Boating is permitted at the Indian Valley Reservoir, although the water level can drop quite low in the summertime, and boats are limited to 10 mph on the lake. Largemouth bass, crappie, rainbow trout, bluegill, and catfish fishing in the reservoir is open all year. Cache Creek below the reservoir is planted with brown trout and is open during trout season.
Kowalski Camp: Boat-in primitive campground has 3 sites with fire grills and picnic tables. It is a good choice for individuals or groups seeking solitude. Kowalski Camp is on the west shore of Indian Valley Reservoir and provides primitive camping accessible only via boat-in access.
Blue Oak Camp: 6 sites for tents or RVs in a developed campground nestled in rolling, oak-studded hills. The campsites, picnic tables, and restrooms are all wheelchair-accessible.
Wintun Camp has 1 primitive campsite 0.5 mile off of Walker Ridge Road. No restrooms or water.
Location: Located about 27 miles west of Williams or 14 miles east of Clearlake Oaks on CA 20. Turn north on Walker Ridge Road, a graded gravel road, to Indian Valley Reservoir.
