Lake Shasta (They are pretty cool about loud exhaust as long as you are not an obnoxious A-hole) If memory serves if the boat is 1978 model year or older, they look at 86db @ 50'. (could be mistaken on that, but pretty sure) not the normal 82db.

Trinity Lake. Although a little more restrictive on noise levels. Whiskeytown lake.

How far north?

You should shoot down to Modesto reservoir... Camping pretty much right on the water, lots of hot boats go down there. Can't find info on the water level...

Camp Far West is a big hot rod boater spot, some fast guys run out there so you won't have any issues with noise. I don't think you can get in at Clementine, not sure if it's much of a lake for a jet boat either.

Camp far west.  Rollins lake.  Collins lake.  Bullards bar.  Stoney forge
 CFW best for hot boats
Oroville reservoir. Clear lake

Got to vintagejetboats for NorCal info on get togethers.

Rollins has water

StonyGorge is empty

East Park Res is Empty

Collins is a puddle to begin with and is one way fishing/family lake

Berryessa is your best bet but the launch is a bear.  Buncha people with boats and dont know how to get in or outta there.  Put your cooler you tube life jackets y kids inside the boat first not when u get down the ramp at the water line.  And wipe the 80,000 wakeboard boat off when u get off the ramp bro.  Geez.  And tell your wife not to stare when my big block fires up and gives her a tingle

Millerton is another and also Shaver :beer:

I go to Millerton at least once a year, was there in June. Water is low but it's a pretty good sized lake so it didn't really effect anything.
