Effective immediately, Reclamation will require all boats launching at Lake Berryessa to participate in a seal program to prevent the spread of invasive mussels. All vessels wishing to launch at Lake Berryessa will be inspected. A red quarantine seal will be applied for 30 days during, which the vessel will not be permitted to launch. Vessels that have finished the 30-day quarantine may return to the lake and have the seal removed by authorized staff and will be allowed to launch. For more information on this updated protocol, please view the press release here: https://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/news-release/5031 .
Natural Features
Putah Canyon Campground is located on the Northwestern shore of Lake Berryessa in Napa County, a resorvior created by the United States Bureau of Reclamation in 1957. The lake has 165 miles of shoreline and some of the best lake fishing in the state. Three quarters of the campsites at Putah Canyon are waterfront sites, giving campers the option to moor their watercraft below their site and enjoy easy lake access.
