This lake is one of the best kept secrets of Siskiyou County. It is one of the few high mountain lakes accessible by car with a short 5 minute walk to the lake. These are usable by persons with disabilities, but they may have difficulties and need assistance. There are several campsites accessible by persons with disabilities, if assisted by others. This lake does receive fairly heavy use at times.
Kangaroo Lake has a campground Host available for information or assistance.
Motorized boats are not allowed on the lake. Adjacent to the campground is a self-guided interpretive trail that connects to the Pacific Crest Trail at the top of the ridge over looking the lake. There is a paved path from the parking lot that ends in a fishing platform on the edge of the lake which is usable by individuals with disabilities if assisted by others. Canoes, inflatable, and motorless boats are all popular on the lake.
