Fishing

LAKE HEMET

Lake Hemet is stocked throughout most of the year with rainbow trout, but natural channel catfish, big-mouth bass and gill also provide good sport fishing. It is about 4 miles south of Mountain Center on Highway 74. It is owned and operated by the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District.

Public recreation areas are on the lake’s shores.

The Forest Service maintains a picnic area for day use along the north shore, the water district on the other shores. The water district also owns and operates Lake Hemet Campground. Splash & Play Water Park is open from Memorial Day weekend to mid-September. Call (951) 6592680.

LAKE FULMOR

About 10 miles north of Idyllwild on Highway 243, Lake Fulmor is stocked with trout from spring through summer. The 2-acre lake occasionally freezes over in winter. A parking area is across the highway from the lake so use caution when crossing to and from the lake.

STRAWBERRY CREEK

Strawberry Creek is the only stream where fishing is allowed in the San Jacinto Mountains. California Department of Fish and Game no longer stocks fish in other creeks because the streams are suitable habitat for a protected species, the mountain yellow-legged frog.

THOUSAND TRAILS

Thousand Trails’ seasonal fishing pond is stocked with tilapia, bluegill and catfish.

Fishing permits are $10 and free for ages 6 and under with an adult permit. Equipment and bait may be purchased at the store. Fish cleaning station located at the pond. Picnic tables and barbecues available. Call 951-659-4097 for more information.

Mountain Biking

ith approximately 200 miles of dirt roads and more than 40 miles of trails open to bicyclists, the San Jacinto Mountains around Idyllwild offer a number of experiences for mountain bikers of all levels.

For that reason, the local mountain trails have become extremely popular among riders looking for challenging routes and breathtaking scenery. Local trails provide mountain bikers with a diverse selection of roads from which to choose.

The Forest Service has mountain biking regulations in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains to ensure the safety of riders and the protection of natural resources. Bicycles may be ridden on established roads and trails within the mountains; however, bikes are not allowed within the San Jacinto or Santa Rosa wilderness areas or along the Pacific Crest Trail.

The Forest Service also offers these safety tips for mountain bikers: Keep your eyes and ears open for equestrians and hikers on trails and vehicles on roads; helmets are highly recommended; control your speed; avoid riding after dark; and, carry a map (available at the Forest Service).

A public art project that was installed in 2013, each deer was painted by a local Art Alliance of Idyllwild artist. Great for picture taking, but visitors are reminded not to touch or sit on the deer sculptures. Deer Sighting Maps are available at the Idyllwild Area Historical Society and Town Crier.
