body of water Martin Lake Good fishing opportunity exists for very large predators as northern pike are present in the reservoir. While boat anglers tend to be more successful, there is plenty of shore fishing opportunities. While trout are stocked routinely in Martin Reservoir, it is also a fantastic warm water fishery for largemouth and smallmouth bass, wiper, crappies, and catfish. View Body of Water

body of water Dolores River From McPhee Reservoir dam downstream to Ferris Campground. The Dolores River below McPhee Dam is remote, hard to get to, and the tailwater trout fishery can “ebb and flow” upstream and downstream depending on the water supply but it consistently produces quality rainbow and brown trout, particularly in the spring when most flowing rivers are turbid and blown out from high runoff.

This is the largest water on the park and trailered boats can launch. View Body of Water
