Manzanita Lake Access offers a small parking area with basic amenities including fire grates, no-flush toilets, and garbage cans, located just 1. 5 miles from North Fork via paved County Road 222.

The site provides year-round access to a 26-acre man-made lake at 2,900 feet elevation with opportunities for fishing (California State Fish and Game rules apply), picnicking, and hiking along historic trails with minimal elevation gain.

No fees are required, though fire restrictions may apply during high fire danger periods.
