Yak Camping?

  Can someone point me towards information on Yak camping in California.   I remember some High Sierra Lakes where the camping sites were accessible only by boat/Yak.   It would be fun to fish and have a base camp away from the busy camp grounds.

  Thanks for your time.

Engelbright Lake

Hell Hole Reservoir

-FF

probably out of your way but stone lagoon (humboldt county) has a boat only camp, and good cutthroat and steelhead

Tomales Bay has SICK boat-in camping.

I'm pretty sure Lake Sonoma

Also Lake Mendocino.

both utica and spicer resevoirs are stunning.

OK, Thanks for the pointers.

You can pretty much camp anywhere you like in the national forests as long as you obtain a fire or wilderness permit ahead of time.  Stop at a national forest ranger station for a permit on your way in.

I highly recommend Loon Lake in the Desolation Wilderness area up Hwy 50 about an hour above Placerville. Loon lake is one of my favorites for fishing/boat in camping, especially this time of year. Put in at the dock, secured parking area ($6. fee) and take your pick of some beautiful camsites and a few have pit toilets. The boat in camp grounds are on the East side of the lake and about a 2-3 mile paddle across. Beautiful place that is producing some nice trout...swimming is excellent too up until mid Oct.

man that looks like a relaxing place. i love the ocean but a beautiful lake sourrounded by mountains is hard to beat

Ha! I was just about to say Loon Lake....absolutely gorgeous area and decent fishing to boot.
