About North Haiwee Reservoir

North Haiwee Reservoir presents a quiet destination for those seeking a natural water body in Inyo County, California. Spanning over 600 acres, this reservoir offers a broad surface area that invites visitors to enjoy the open expanse of water. Despite its sizeable footprint, the reservoir is notably shallow, with a maximum depth of zero feet, which shapes the water's character and accessibility. The reservoir's location near the small town of Olancha provides a sense of remote tranquility. Its shallow waters mean the lake behaves differently than deeper bodies, often warming quickly and supporting a unique environment. This setting makes it a distinct spot for those interested in exploring California's diverse aquatic landscapes without the bustle of crowded parks or developed recreational facilities.
