Utica/Union Reservoirs
![[Photo]: vista of high elevation forest along Highway 4](/r5/stanislaus/images/photos/stf-pic33.jpg)
These scenic small,
twin reservoirs are located off the Spicer Reservoir Road.
The setting is more rustic than either Spicer Reservoir
or Lake Alpine. No developed recreation
facilities exist at either lake; however, the area is popular
for day use, dispersed camping and paddle sports such as
canoeing and kayaking. A primitive boat
launch is available at Union Reservoir. Maximum boat
speed is 5 mph.
Utica Reservoir is managed for non-motorized boating.
Open June to October.
Utica/Union Reservoirs visitors enjoy dispersed camping, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and horseback riding.
- Dispersed Camping
- Spicer Reservoir offers low-speed boating (boat launch available), excellent fishing, and camping at Spicer Campground and Spicer Group Campground.
- Stanislaus River Campground with 25 sites offers fishing on the North Fork Stanislaus River.
