Lake Sonoma Yorty Creek Recreation Area

Jenny Kirk

Great place to kayak and fish and swim bring the family for a picnic they have a couple of boat access campsites as well reservations required. If you don't have a kayak there is shore access for fishing too. No trailers allow sharp switch back access road to marina area. They have BBQ and a swim area for the kids nice and quiet and a peaceful place to spend the afternoon.

This area is beautiful. Lots of picnic places and a swimming area with free life jackets. Small little boat ramp perfect for canoes. Only down side is we walked the trail going along the lake for 5 minutes and found 8 ticks on us. Be careful out there!

Probably the best beach on Lake Sonoma. There is a marked swimming area, several picnic tables and grills. Most tables are covered. Lots of parking. There is even a concrete boat ramp. Odd because trailers are not allowed. The road in from Cloverdale is very twisty but very pretty. This is a great place to launch a kayak! The road has been repaired. $5 day use fee.

Nice beach for swimming, but no shade except the picnic areas. Great for hiking; tons of little fingers to fish for bass, and there's big channel catfish down deep. Campsites could use a refresher. Watch out for rattlesnakes!
