This small reservoir formed in 1938 by the construction of Inks Dam on the Colorado River, is an excellent place to spend the day in the water. Much of the Lake is surrounded by Inks Lake State Park, so there are plenty of places to explore, or put ashore, particularly on the East side of Lake. This reservoir was created from a small Canyon, and as such is long and narrow, so though the total volume of the Lake is not that high, there is plenty of shoreline. If you're looking to cover a lot of distance, we recommend a sea kayak on this Lake, though canoes, kayaks, and other craft are certainly options.
