Strawberry Reservoir is a huge body of water, at over 17,000 surface-acres, that offers great opportunities for boating and fishing. There are a few recreation complexes around the lake offering camping, picnicking, and marina services.
Two reservoirs, Strawberry and Soldier Creek, were combined in 1985 by way of a long, narrow canyon to create today's Strawberry Reservoir. This canyon, now called "The Narrows," can be one of the most scenic areas on the reservoir and is only accessible by boat. A few single docks are provided through the Narrows for accessing shore or boat camping in this secluded portion of the reservoir.
Strawberry's biggest draw is its unbeatable fishing. It's also a good idea to throw fishing poles in the boat when heading for this mountain reservoir. Four boat ramps around the reservoir offer plenty of locations for getting onto the water. A marina at each boat ramp has gasoline, boat rentals and boat slips available. The main marina at Strawberry Bay also has a dry storage area.
A campground can be found adjacent to each boat ramp for overnight stays.
