Description

At an elevation of 5,400 feet, Rock Bluff is just a short distance from Parker Canyon Lake. Tables and grills at Rock Bluff are clustered on small, walled patios in a rocky little canyon dotted with oaks and junipers. The site contains three (3) group sites with two (2) tables and two (2) fire rings each. Toilets and garbage bins are present.

A lakeside developed recreation site, including a boat ramp, fishing pier, general store and boat rentals, is located just a short drive from the group area.

Lakeshore Trail #128, just a quarter-mile walk from Rock Bluff, leads all the way around the lake. This nearby level trail is well maintained and easy to follow. Trailside benches and interpretive signs are located at some of the best wildlife viewing areas. Watch for the waterfowl that are generally bobbing on the waters of the lake. Bald eagles are regularly sighted during the winter, and ospreys sometimes are seen migrating through the area in the fall.
