Forebay Reservoir
This delightful picnic area with fishing access is popular with local residents and visitors from afar. Forebay Reservoir—a no-body-contact reservoir—was initially created to regulate water flow to EID’s hydroelectric power generation facility, but it is also a great daytime recreation spot—perfect for barbeques, quiet walks, and fishing.
The area is located on Forebay Road in Pollock Pines, just off Pony Express Trail at Highway 50’s Sly Park Road exit. The area is open from dawn to dusk.
