There is quite a fishy smell here, there are dead fish, but otherwise the place has potential.

How is the fishing and what do we use.

Keith Murphy | Sep 22, 2018
John M | Sep 22, 2018

Generally the fishing isn't great. I catch a fish 1 out of every 3 times I go. That being said, the lake generally isn't stocked very much. Also, if you take a small boat, your chances of catching a fish will triple. I normally use worms, which work great for all fish there, but you can also try power bait. Normally I catch bass and trout out there.

Are inflatable kayaks allowed on the lake?

Kathy Thomas | Sep 21, 2021
Jake Bowser | Sep 21, 2021

Noel Carrie Gonda | Sep 21, 2021

Hello! Yes you can camp overnight so long as you've made a reservation prior to arriving. Unfortunately, they don't have self service check in/out. There's a security gate (with a touch screen/key pad) that allows for day use access, and folks with reservations. Hope you'll get to stay and enjoy!! Beautiful and peaceful place!!

Not sure if they do monthly hook ups. I paid I believe 25 per night without sewer hook up and 30 with sewer. I don't remember them giving a break on a week. But they may have changed.

Brite Valley Aquatic Recreation Area provides the Greater Tehachapi Area with domestic and agriculture water supplies. Therefore, swimming, wading or any activity involving bodily contact with the water in the lake is prohibited. Continued use of the recreation area by the public is dependent upon the protection of the purity of the water for use as a domestic supply
