| Description: The Indian Valley area offers an abundance of recreational possibilities. Rolling chaparral-covered hills dotted with oak & pine make an ideal setting for hunting, camping, bicycling, hiking, & equestrian use. Popular game animals include blacktail deer, black bear, quail, dove, & wild turkey. For wildflower enthusiasts, pockets of the rare Indian Valley brodiaea & adobe lily can be found within the area.
Boating is permitted at the Indian Valley Reservoir, although the H2O level can drop quite low in the summertime, & boats are limited to ten mph on the lake. Largemouth bass, crappie, rainbow trout, bluegill, & catfish fishing in the reservoir is open all year. Cache Creek below the reservoir is planted with brown trout & is open during trout season.
Kowalski Camp: Boat-in primitive campground has three sites with fire grills & picnic tables. It is a good choice for individuals or groups seeking solitude. Kowalski Camp is on the west shore of Indian Valley Reservoir & provides primitive camping accessible only via boat-in access.
Blue Oak Camp: six sites for tents or RVs in a developed campground nestled in rolling, oak-studded hills. The campsites, picnic tables, & restrooms are all wheelchair-accessible.
Wintun Camp has one 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.
