About the Lake:

San Pablo Lake is a terrific place to relax on your boat and enjoy some great fishing. Although swimming is not allowed, this is considered a great destination for picnicking and enjoying nature. The lake is very family friendly and the costs are reasonably low. With 866 surface acres and 14 miles of shoreline, there is more than enough space to enjoy a peaceful trip. The lake is pretty popular, but overcrowing has not been an issue.

The lake recently opened up to more types of boats, including two stroke engines, which has given boaters a lot more opportunities to enjoy the lake. The bait shop is very nicely stocked and the amenities are top notch.

3 lane launch ramp.

No 2-cycle engines, dry stack jet boats, water skies, personal watercraft (jet skis) or windsurfers.
