East Chub Lake

East Chub Lake is a 62-acre lake located 4 miles north and 12 miles west of Isabella in Lake County. The public boat access features an earthen ramp on the east shore along State Highway 1, with parking available for approximately three vehicles. The lake has a maximum depth of nine feet, making it suitable for shallow-draft boats and ideal for kayaking and canoeing.
