Fir Top Campground – Area Recreation & Activities

The adjacent 1,000-acre Jackson Meadow Reservoir offers excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, water sports, swimming and fishing. Anglers will find rainbow and brown trout.  A designated swim beach is also nearby. The lake is an irrigation source, meaning its level will drop as the season progresses.

A portion of the Pacific Crest Trail meanders along the east side of the lake. It is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding and provides opportunities for viewing wildlife. Hunting is also popular activities in the surrounding area. The area is also scenic in late spring and summer when wildflowers bloom in the meadows.
