About This Access Site
Cascade Shores Boat Ramp provides access to the scenic Scotts Flat Reservoir in Nevada County, California. This reservoir is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters seeking a serene mountain setting.

The boat ramp is open seasonally from May 25th through September 14th, offering a convenient launch point during the peak recreation season. The ramp can accommodate both small trailered watercraft as well as hand-carried boats like kayaks and canoes. Nearby amenities include a marina with fuel and supplies.

Scotts Flat Reservoir is a relatively large, calm body of water fed by the Yuba River watershed. Its protected coves and inlets create pleasant paddling conditions, while the open areas allow for power boating and water sports. Boaters should be aware of fluctuating water levels and potential debris, and practice safe navigation throughout the reservoir.
