Sacramento River NWR, Packer Unit
Packer Lake is open daily for fishing from sunrise
to sunset, year-round. The best time for angling is March-November
for species such as bluegill and largemouth bass. A narrow, dirt road
provides access to an unimproved boat launch area (for car top boats,
no trailers). The entrance and exit is from the north end of the road.
This is a primitive area---no facilities are available. For
information on location and access visit the Sacramento
River - A Guide to Recreation and Public Access.
