No one is immune to the hassle and bustle of everyday life especially if one works or lives in big metropolitan cities. One needs to have a break in order to keep healthy and ensure that the family is also happy. Shaver Lake camping could be just what is needed to bring that relaxed feeling to everyone even if it is just for a few weeks.
It is an artificial reservoir that is used to store water situated in the National forest of Fresno County. There are many smaller streams that flow into the lake and it also gets its supply from underground tunnels. It was completed in 1927 and was built in fifteen meter blocks with copper sheeting to help keep it leak free. A small amount of water is fed off into Stevenson Creek for wildlife and the rest is diverted to Big Creek where it will help to power hydroelectric plants.
For the fisherman there is a large variety of fish that can be caught. The rainbow trout, Kokannee salmon as well as catfish and bluegills are abundant. Many people come from far and wide for the fishing and it is open year round.
There was once a railroad that operated and was a standard gauge track. It is estimated that sixty percent of all lines around the world are made from this gauge. Its main purpose was to move wood that had been cut down to sawmills and lumber yards. It was eventually abandoned in 1927 after been in use for thirty six years.
They are open all year and the average amount per night is $39. They can however range from $30 - $48 depending on the amount of people and camping units used. For a group of people the rates can be from $150 to $375 per night.
The lake itself is breathtaking with all the trees and granite outcroppings which make up about ninety percent of the shoreline. There are many wake free covers where boats can be anchored while people play and splash in the water. All kinds of water crafts are welcome. These range from kayaks, deck boats, canoes, sail boats and jet skis.
Many prefer to stay in cabins instead of camping and there are a variety of different places where one can spend a few days. There are hotels as well as log cabins to choose from. There are a few that are only five minutes drive from the lake. Many can sleep multiple guests at a time.
During the rainy season, camping can be a problem as the reservoir fills and the shore has limited space to set up on. There is a little shop that offers ice, drinks, fuel as well as fishing equipment. This is an experience that will keep one coming back as often as possible, to relive the moments of fun and being one with the wild time and again.
