This day-use facility provides a convenient spot for anglers and families seeking a peaceful outdoor experience in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The site features a vault toilet for visitor convenience, but no potable water is available on-site, so visitors should bring adequate drinking water.

As a no-fee facility, Coot Bay provides an accessible option for visitors looking to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the area without reservation requirements or day-use fees.
