Boyington Mill Campground: 12 tent or trailer sites. You’ll have to bring drinking water or purify river water. This is a fee area and no reservations accepted. Directions: 4 miles north of the dam on Little Truckee River and Stampede Dam Road.

Catchable rainbows are planted, Kokanee are available, and browns. Although decreasing in numbers; some large brownies remain. Better for trolling, but with some decent bank fishing still available at the right times.

All craft allowed with a speed limit 5 mph in all inlets, but low water makes the boat ramp unusable.

Nice mid-range lake but enough boat traffic to dampen the quiet times, so pick times with less powerboating going on. Plus, motorized use in the inlets is limited to 5 MPH. Winds can churn up some choppy waves and hassle for paddlers.

Easy launch and couple of campgrounds though. And close enough to Truckee for some night life and cold drinks. All, in all just good place to be outdoors.
