About Boca Reservoir

Boca Reservoir spans a broad area in Nevada County, California, providing a spacious water body that invites visitors to enjoy its natural setting. Despite its large surface area, the lake is notably shallow, which shapes the overall experience on the water. This expanse offers a unique environment for those seeking a calm and open lake atmosphere. The reservoir lies close to several small towns including Truckee, CA, and Verdi in both California and Nevada. The surrounding region includes state parks such as Donner Memorial and Tahoe State Recreation Area, which frame the lake with additional natural beauty and outdoor opportunities. Boca Reservoir's shallow depth encourages accessibility and a peaceful lakeside ambiance throughout the year.
