North Fork Reservoir is a popular destination for both anglers and recreators of all kinds. Trout fishing has been slow, as warm weather and water conditions have stalled stocking efforts in this waterbody. Future stockings will continue to be weather dependent. ‌

For more information, visit PGE's Parks and Recreation webpage.‌

North Fork Reservoir is a 350-acre reservoir of the Clackamas River behind North Fork Dam approximately 5.2 miles east of Estacada, Ore. This reservoir has two boat ramps, boat moorage, 50 campsites, picnic areas, boat rentals, grocery story, fueling station, and ADA-accessible fishing platforms. It is big and deep enough, and is fed by the upper Clackamas River, to stay cool longer into the summer than most of the other lakes and ponds.
