San Diego County Lakes


San Diego County has 16 lakes for fishing and boating. Although there are actually more than 16 lakes, some are either inaccessible by car or too small to be considered a lake. All of the lakes are reservoirs and only one (San Vicente) allows water skiing. The lake in the photos is Lake Poway which is owned and operated by the City of Poway and has motor, row and paddle boats for rent. Lake Poway offers very good fishing and a full range of services including picnic tables, restrooms and a store with bait and food service. This is true of most of the lakes in the county. If you are not interested in fishing and boating, most of the lakes offer hiking trails and some like Poway have baseball/softball fields. When most people think of San Diego water activities they think of the ocean or Mission Bay, but San Diego has these great freshwater recreation areas to enjoy also.
