Eleven Mile State Park

Anglers and writers consistently tout Eleven Mile’s large reservoir for its outstanding fishing. When not reeling in a rainbow, brown, cutthroat, kokanee or pike, there are nearly five miles of scenic hiking and biking trails that await exploration.

Canoe the day away around the shores of the backcountry. Fish from the shore or a boat while enjoying scenic vistas. Camp comfortably in designated campsites located around the shoreline, nestled among trees in the backcountry, or tucked away in secluded canyon pockets and remote hillsides.

Ideal wind conditions make Eleven Mile a popular but not overly crowded destination for sailing, windsurfing and winter ice boating on this wide-open reservoir. Motor boaters and kayakers also find plenty of room to play during the summer months.

Many species of birds reside in or migrate through the park, making for wonderful bird watching prospects. Neighboring park, Spinney Mountain, offers additional opportunities for birding and fishing. Waterfowl hunting chances for a wide variety of ducks are excellent and are available each fall!

Eleven Mile Reservoir
has Formed an Ice Cap

The reservoir is closed to all boating and an ice cap has begun to form over the lake. Ice fishermen are reminded that all ice is inherently unsafe and that ice thicknesses may vary considerably within relatively short walking distances. Ice fishermen are reminded that when going out onto the ice it is wise to go with a friend, wear a PFD, and carry a 50 foot length of rope.
