Jenks Lake is a small lake in the San Bernardino Mountains just past Forest Falls and Angelus Oaks in California, USA. The Lake offers plenty of fish species including Bass, Bluegill, and Rainbow Trout. Trout season usually runs from April to October. The lake is open from sunrise to sunset and provides great outdoor recreation for the whole family. The cost of parking is $5.00 per vehicle. Weekends can get busy so get there early.


During the summer if the water temp gets to a warm temp of like 40 degrees Fahrenheit they have swimming available with a roped off area but still lookout for hooks because fishermen also cast in that area because of the shallow waters and trout love to swarm in that location as well towards the end of the lake in the middle. Float tubing is allowed. In this lake most of the stocked trout seem to follow the green moss colors as well oranges.
