The campground is situated on a hillside above the reservoir, among stands of aspen, fir and lodgepole pine trees, which offer partial shade. Summer wildflowers are plentiful. Deer and elk frequent the site, and nearly every campsite has scenic views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains.
Race Track Creek Trailhead is just outside the campground. Coal Mine Hollow is just around the lake. Both offer off-road vehicle trail opportunities, hiking and fishing. Rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout fishing is a popular activity on the reservoir, as is canoeing, kayaking and boating.
A boat ramp is located on-site. Fishing deep with streamers, woolly buggers and leech patterns usually turns some trout. Pontoon boats are a common sight here and most fly fishers use sinking line to reach the fish. There is a boat ramp for launching boats on the smaller side of the lake. Crankbaits trolled along steep drop-offs can be productive.
Traditional trout baits will also work from shore. As a year-round destination, Currant Creek tends to have plenty of opportunities no matter what the season. Autumn fishing may be the very best of all, however, as the landscape around the reservoir explodes in yellows, deep reds, and orange colors and the cool air can make the hours seem to drift by. Fishing in Currant Creek below the dam can be difficult due to thick vegetation, but there are some sweet fishing holes and beaver dams that hold plenty of trout to make up for the hassle.
Some diehard Currant Creek Reservoir lovers enjoy making the trip into the fishery in the winter months on a snowmobile to fish the hardwater. Fishing is typically best when the reservoir first has safe ice. Fishing is always good when the first open water emerges from the melting ice each year.
There is a U. Forest Service campground at the reservoir and restrooms. Dispersed camping is also allowed and popular in the area around the reservoir. A late summer campout, feasting on the catch of the day, is an excellent way to enjoy the cool nights and bright stars that shine above.
Currant Creek is restricted to artificial flies and lures only and a limit of four trout from the confluence of Water Hollow Creek upstream to the headwaters and the tributaries of Currant Creek. These restrictions do not apply at the reservoir.
The most direct access to Currant Creek is from U. The reservoir is 14 miles up the unpaved road. Previous Group Next Group. Written by Matcha. Sitting at 7, feet above sea level it a great spot to enjoy cooler temps in the summer with splashing around in the reservoir. When you get to the dam, follow the road almost all the way around the reservoir, and you will find the campground near the southwest end of the lake, a short distance from the dam.
There is a Coop Creek sign on the north side of Highway Turn north left at the sign and travel approximately 8 miles north. At that point there is another sign for Currant Creek Campground. Turn right at the sign and travel approximately 6 more miles east and south to the campground. Map showing recreational areas.
