About This Access Site
Fuller Grove Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Lake Pillsbury, a popular destination for kayaking, canoeing, and boating in the Mendocino National Forest. Located adjacent to the Fuller Grove Group Campground, this public boat launch is an ideal starting point for exploring the lake's scenic shoreline and accessing the water.

The boat ramp itself is well-maintained, making it easy to launch small watercraft. Nearby parking is available, and the campground offers amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms to support day-use visitors. Rental boats can be obtained at the nearby Lake Pillsbury Resort, giving boaters without their own craft an opportunity to enjoy the lake.

Lake Pillsbury is the largest lake in the Mendocino National Forest, offering ample space for recreational activities like fishing, swimming, and leisurely cruising. Paddlers and boaters can expect to find a peaceful, relatively calm water body, making it an excellent choice for a range of skill levels. Those planning to spend time on the water should review any current conditions or regulations before their visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
