to prevent spread of mussels

No boat access will be available at any other area of Crowley Lake.
Boats showing signs of contamination with invasive mussels, or found to contain any water or debris that could harbor invasive mussels, will not be allowed to launch into Crowley Lake.
Frequent users of Crowley Lake can arrange with Crowley Lake Fish Camp to store their boat on-site.
Boat owners may have their boat inspected and receive an Inspection Certification prior to arriving at Crowley Lake’s South Landing at these locations:
• April 23 from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. at the Bishop Vons/Kmart parking lot at the corner of Main Street (U.S. 395), Wye Road and U.S. 6.

Only pre-inspected boats will be allowed to enter the gate or launch at Crowley Lake after 7 p.m. on April 23. Inspections will resume at 7 a.m. on Fishing Opening Day. Pre-inspected boats may use the pre-paid line at the main gate at South Landing of Crowley Lake to expedite entry.
• All boat owners are required to fill out a written questionnaire concerning the boat’s past use
• All boats will be thoroughly inspected
• All boats and trailers must be clean and dry or they will be denied access
• All drain plugs must be pulled or opened prior to boat transport that day

Extended waits are possible to enter Crowley Lake Reservoir due to these important protective measures. Inspections are required for the protection of the fishery at Crowley Lake and in order to keep the reservoir open to recreational boating.
