Spring is on western end of island nearer shore. Indian Valley Reservoir. Golden and bald eagles nesting on on NW end of lake where Cache Creek comes in. Lake at about 1500' elevation. Spring to see eagles, Autumn for solitude.
Summers are hot.
I- 5 to Williams go west on Hwy. 20 turn right on Leesville Road. Follow signs to Barlett Springs Road. Best place to launch and camp is where Cache Creek comes into the reservoir. Worst is middle of summer, though excellent for night kayaking.
