The Boss Reservoir Trail is a short route off the east side of Monarch Pass. The route will take you two miles into the forest from Highway 50 to the reservoir's banks. Fishing access is convenient, as the trail ends right at the lake. The road surface is mostly dirt with some rocky sections. A stock high-clearance 4x4 can complete the trail. Passing is difficult along the middle of the route so be sure to watch for wide places in case you need to pass another vehicle.
