Welcome to Millerton Lake State Recreation Area

Visitors to Millerton Lake State Recreation Area (SRA) can experience a wide range of outdoor activities at this central Sierra Nevada foothill reservoir. The park lies in Fresno and Madera counties, bifurcated by the San Joaquin River channel, traversing its historical route from the Sierra Crest to the California Delta. Millerton Lake SRA is host to a multiuse trail system and to over forty miles of shoreline. The several thousand square acres of water surface area is popular with boaters and fishermen. Locals and out-of-town visitors enjoy the temperate climate, with warm to hot summers and cool winters. The region is the traditional and ceremonial homeland of the Dumna and Kechaye, a Yokuts Native American group of Central California. Their involvement in the park and impact on the landscape is appreciated by visitors daily.
