Camp Far West Reservoir (also known as Camp Far West Lake) is a small reservoir in the foothills of Northern California located approximately eight miles (13 km) east of Wheatland, California and 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Sacramento.
The lake forms the meeting point of three California counties, Placer, Nevada and Yuba.
The lake was formed by the Bear River and Rock Creek, near what was formerly the confluence of the two streams.
Dirt roads and trails surround the lake and are typically accessible year round.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment released an advisory statement regarding eating fish caught from this reservoir based on the mercury level.
