Lake of the Woods Access

Lake of the Woods Access is a day-use only unit of the Feather River Wildlife Area located in the Sierra foothills, accessible via a rough 2-mile dirt road from Jackson Meadows Road.

The shallow, weedy lake is nestled in dense red fir forest with shady picnic areas, and offers fishing opportunities along with wildlife viewing and birdwatching; no motorized boats or open fires are permitted.

Access is free with no facilities available, though a Forest Service campground operates on the adjacent half of the lake.
