Rules and Regulations for Secret Lake. These
may not always be up to date so make sure you double check
before recreating or fishing at Secret Lake.
Non-motorized boats only. Packable rubber rafts and float tubes are used by some fishermen in the wilderness areas; however, this is not advised for lakes such as Secret Lake which is a cross-country trek and very remote. A valid California state fishing license is needed to fish within the National Forest. Licenses are sold at sporting good and other retail stores. For information on fishing times & limits a current state fishing regulation guide is generally available free at these same locations. For more information contact California Department of Fish & Game.
