Lake Hodges East Arm

Lake Hodges is a man made lake in north San Diego. The dam which is not visible from the 15 freeway was built in 1918.Rancho Bernardo is to the south and Escondido is just north. The eastern section of the lake may or may not have water depending on the rainfall. The area is a great place to hike, bike, fish and bird watch. There is a pedestrian bridge just west of the 15 freeway that is said to be the longest stressed ribbon bridge in the world. The bridge was built in 2009. Lake Hodges is part of the San Dieguito River Park that runs from the Pacific Ocean to the mountains. When the lake is full, fishing is good in this area. When the lake is low there are lots of birds and you may see freshwater clam shells. This is just another way to Enjoy San Diego!
