Yuba Lake State Park - #8

Yuba Lake is a man-made reservoir built between 1902 and 1917 by local farmers and ranchers to collect needed water supply.  The reservoir is the largest on the Sevier River and was open to the public as a State Park in 1970.   There are a number of developed campgrounds including Oasis Campground, North Beach Campground, West Beach Campground, Eagle View Campground (boat access only), and Painted Rock Campground.  We stayed at the Painted Rock Campground.  All the sites are paved and each site has a nice picnic table, covered area, and fire pit.  The campground is pretty open though with no trees and the wind whips through the sites.  We had fun exploring some designated trails around the campground as well as some deer trails up behind the painted rock outcropping.  There is easy water access from a nice boat ramp and dock just below the campground.  The pictographs of "painted rock" are pretty cool and can be seen by boat or kayak on the rocks just north of the boat ramp.  We liked Site #29.  If we were to visit again, we would try Site #9, #12 or #15.
