Joes valley can be a little tough for impatient young ones since it was run over by chubs 20 years ago. There are fish too be had, and I would give it a try. Good bank areas are the bank just east of the marina, or the area from the dam along the hyway on the east side. There are a couple of parking areas there with good access.
That being said , if the little ones lose interest, Try grassy lake (TAKE THE ROAD STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF TURNING INTO THE CAMPGROUND) it's about 6 or 7 miles up the dirt road. (good dirt road) and is marked by signs. There is also petes hole and soup bowl another 3 or 4 miles up that road. (main road , not the grassy lake turn off road) There is also potters ponds Take the road north from joes valley by lowery water creek. They are on the left (3/4 mile off road , watch for sign) about 10 miles up the lowery water road. These are all smaller very scenic lakes that will be freshly stocked for memorial week end and are great places for kids. They are worth the short drive just for the scenery.Check out the camping around potters ponds for future trips.
