Summary: Coyote Lake, a three-mile long, 635-surface acre reservoir, provides opportunities for power and non-power boating and fishing. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any fish during the outing and the only bites were mosquito bites. Coyote is regularly stocked with rainbow trout in the spring and fall, but in the summer, fishing is slow unless you have a boat to get to the deeper waters. Coyote has rainbow trout, bass and blue gills.

Directions: To reach the park, take Highway 101 to Gilroy. Take the Leavesley Road exit. Follow Leavesley Road east 1.75 miles to New Avenue. Turn left onto New Avenue and proceed north for .6 miles to Roop Road. Turn right onto Roop Road. Roop Road eventually turns into Gilroy Hot Springs Road. The park entrance is approximately 3 miles from New Avenue. Turn left onto Coyote Reservoir Road, the park visitor center/ranger station is about one mile from Roop Road.

Campsite: There are no group sites so we reserved three sites. There is a total or 75 campsites at Coyote and each site can accommodate up to 8 people. coy
