Adventure Is Out There... Jenks Lake, California



To kick off our first fishing trip of the season we went to Jenks Lake in our beautiful local mountains. My fiance has been a few times before but it was my first so I was even more excited!

It was a short drive to get to Hwy 38 and then from there it's about 10 miles- from the Forest Falls turn-off. There is a sign that says Jenks Lake on the right hand side before the road to turn on. Then another on the right hand side; directly before the left turn into the entrance. It's not a small sign but by no means huge but, if you are enjoying your drive I can see how one could miss it.

After paying $5 to get in you can park any where you want. (Paved parking lot if that matters to anyone!)
It is a short walk down these wooden stairs.





I always love the 1st sighting of the lake!






Not even a 5 minute walk and we found the spot.




It sounded like there was a bunch of bees behind us but nothing ever bothered us so, yay!




Not a lot of weeds which is good for fishing


Unfortunately, I didn't catch anything





A few hours and two small mouthed bass later we decided to call it quits. But not before a quick 30 minute walk around the lake.
