Beardsley Lake is a reservoir located in the Stanislaus National Forest near Strawberry, California.

The lake is also used for agricultural irrigation and as a recreational destination for boating, fishing, and camping.

The lake has been a popular destination for anglers since its creation, with rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon being the primary fish species found in the lake.
