Lake Pardee

Pardee Lake is located 38 miles northeast of Stockton on the Mokelumne River. Rainbow Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie and other Panfish make Lake Pardee the wonderful fishery that it is. Most of the anglers that visit Lake Pardee fish for Rainbow Trout, both from shore and from boats. 1½ to 5 pound Rainbow Trout are stocked regularly. Some by the Department of Fish and Game, but over 90% by the concessionaire. This is made possible by using the Fishing Access Permit funds. The ten lane boat launch ramp is a real convenience for easy launching and exiting. A state of the art fish cleaning station is available as well as boat rentals.

Pardee Lake Recreation boasts a total of 141 beautiful, oak studded campsites located within two separate campgrounds within its boundaries. Campsites offer plenty of shade, are clean, and each contain a picnic table and fire ring. Clean portable toilets are within a short walking distance. In each campground, running water is close to or right next to a site. Trash containers are emptied 7 days a week. Two ADA designed handicap sites are also available for our disabled visitors. Lakeview Campground is within walking distance to most facilities. Hot showers, flush restrooms and laundry facilities are located near the main parking lot in the Recreation Area. The Oaks Campground is a little more secluded. Camp sites can be reserved in advance in accordance with the Reservation Policies and Procedures or pay your fees upon entering the main gate and choose any available site. There is a two week maximum stay in the campsites. A maximum of 8 people and two vehicles are permitted per site.
