About Cave Lake State Park
The park spans over 4,000 acres in the Schell Creek Range, bordering Humboldt National Forest at 7,300 feet elevation. Its centerpiece is a 32-acre reservoir set aside for fishing and boating limited to flat-wake speeds, a detail that shapes what kind of water recreation happens here. The high mountain setting distinguishes it from lower desert parks in the region.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
