Looking for a quiet but easy to reach location for some wonderful biking or water activities? Then you will enjoy a visit to Round Valley Reservoir. Located a few miles from Greenville, Ca. this small lake is surrounded by large pines at an elevation of 4600 feet. Boating is permitted for motors 7.5 horsepower or less. Swimming, jet skiing, and water skiing are not permitted. The shoreline is less than two miles and makes for great paddling in a kayak. I've ridden my mountain bike around the perimeter. There is a packed dirt forest road around the lake. It is level, scenic, and, hard to get lost. This lake is for warm water fish species. Fish found within the lake are Bluegill, Large Mouth Bass, and Bullhead Catfish.
There is a Forest Service picnic area with tables and restrooms on the northeast side of the lake.
Directions: Greenville is located on Highway 89 between Chester and Quincy. If you approach Greenville from the south, turn left on Hideaway Road which changes into Round Valley Road. If you approach Greenville from the north, turn right onto Main St. When the road forks, stay to the left. Turn Right on Round Valley Road. Whichever way you come, it's about 4 miles from Highway 89 to reach the lake. It is a paved road to the lake. The lake is open all year. But, in winter there is lots of snow and most likely it becomes inaccessible for the winter months.
