DIRECTIONS:
From Georgetown drive 55 miles east
via Forest Service the Wentworth Springs Road (FS#1) and then turn left
onto the Eleven Pines Road a few miles above the Stumpy Meadows Reservoir.
The reservoir can also be reached from
French Meadows Reservoir and then traveling south on the gravel road over
Chipmunk Ridge.
ACTIVITIES:
Fishing (Best)

Junction rainbows and Kokanee are here.
Boating Lakes & Reservoirs
(Good)
All craft allowed, but afternoon winds
often make boating hazardous. Gravel boat ramp. Boat ramp near dam on west
side. Large parking area and overnight parking and camping allowed. Best
for trailers/RVs. Best in late spring to mid-summer due to draw down.
Flat-water paddling often good as the
number of powerboats is small and a boat access campground on the upper
end is a perfect long paddle -- when the winds aren’t up and especially
if you’re not returning into the headwinds.
