ADVANCED LAKES IN SAN DIEGO
BEST LAKES IN SAN DIEGO
In order to get started, let me make sure we're on the same page.
San Diego County lakes are the ones I mean when I speak of lakes in San Diego. In addition to the recommendations, I'm including the distance between Downtown San Diego and the recommendations.
Additionally, many activities are possible in the lakes featured here. Several of these places are good for fishing and swimming, while others are good for walking, picnicking, and people-watching.
LAKE MIRAMAR
There are 17 miles between San Diego and this location
Recreational enthusiasts enjoy the Miramar Reservoir. Since the lake is owned and operated by the City of San Diego, it is open to the public.
Among the fun activities available here are fishing, kayaking, boat riding, picnicking, hiking, and biking.
The 5 miles of trails around the lake provide beautiful scenery for a walk or bike ride. Large-mouth bass are often caught here, and this site is popular with anglers.
A host of amenities are available in the nearby lake surroundings to ensure a memorable stay. During family outings, barbecues, picnic tables, restrooms, and water fountains are available. The property offers boat, kayak, and bike rentals (seasonal).
It can be challenging to find a parking spot at the weekends because there is a limited amount of space.
Camping is not allowed. The dog must be on a leash at all times.
A major beer epicenter in San Diego can be found on Miramar Road, nearby the lake. Over 10 breweries offer tasty tastings, pints, and other delicious treats.
LOWER OTAY LAKE
Approximately 23 miles away from San Diego
It is famous for being the rowing training grounds for US teams competing in international competitions at Lower Otay Lake (or Lower Otay Reservoir).
Aside from the lake's long shoreline (25 miles), there are several trails that offer scenic views. Nature lovers will enjoy this location without having to drive hours to get there. This is also a great place to go fishing and boating, and you'll see colorful wildflowers in bloom.
Aside from largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, catfish, crappie, and carp, the lake also boasts an abundance of bluegill, sunfish, and catfish. Canoes, kayaks, and boats are welcomed, but swimming is not permitted.
The launch ramp usage fee for private boats is a small amount. Fishing is permitted by anglers based on maximum limits (which are determined by species).
Restrooms, barbecue areas, and potable water are available as amenities. Fishing is available all year long at Lower Otay Lake on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
There is an open space reserve adjacent to the lake at Otay. Otay Valley Regional Park features 83 miles of multi-use trails. It is possible to camp and RV at Pio Pico Resort in the nearby area.
SWEETWATER RESERVOIR
A 14-mile drive from downtown San Diego
A 960 acre artificial lake, Sweetwater Reservoir in San Diego is one of the largest in the country. By damming (Bonita Dam) the same-named river, the reservoir was created. Despite my nerdy nature, I have to tell you Sweetwater River is born in the Cuyamaca Mountains (near Lake Cuyamaca, another lake in this article).
On the southern side of the lake, shoreline fishing is the only recreational activity allowed, and it is only permitted along a 25-mile belt. Freshwater fish species including largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, bluegill, and carp inhabit the lake.
Fortunately, the Sweetwater Summit Regional Park is located close to the lake. Over 100 campgrounds, 15 miles of multi-use trails (for hiking, biking, and horseback riding), seasonal splash pads, play areas, an exercise course, a coin-operated shower, picnic tables, and large meeting areas are available in the park.
