About

Coot Bay Fishing & Picnic Site is a no-fee day-use fishing access point on Lake Davis in Plumas National Forest. It is one of nine free fishing access locations around the lake, offering shoreline access for anglers. The site includes a toilet facility, making it one of the better-equipped free access points. Lake Davis supports productive fishing year-round, including ice fishing when conditions permit. Lake Davis Recreation Area, located 7 miles north of Portola, California, serves as a hub for outdoor activities including fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Waterskiing and jet skis are prohibited on the lake. For overnight stays, campers should use one of the three developed campgrounds in the Lake Davis Recreation Area rather than this day-use fishing access point.

Directions

From Portola, California, head north approximately 7 miles to Lake Davis. Coot Bay is one of nine fishing access points around the lake.
