Gentle rolling grass-covered hills scattered
with a mixture of live oak and chaparral
surround San Antonio Lake. Unless you are up to
a strenuous paddle, you can use the three boat
launches as starting points, and paddle the lake
in sections.
The lake’s narrow width allows you to easily
cut across to the opposite shore, but use
caution for fast-moving powerboats and jet
skis. Just south of the launch near Harris
Creek campground is a scenic cove, which
provides a private retreat. The submerged
tree hazards prevent powerboats from
entering the meandering cove where the water
tends to be more calm. This quiet haven is
quite a contrast from the fast-moving
watercraft in the main part of the lake.
San Antonio Lake boasts some of the hottest
fishing opportunities in the state of
California and is an excellent year round
warm water fishery. The species of fish
consist of small and largemouth bass,
stripers, channel catfish, crappie, redear
and bluegill.
The most popular are the largemouth
bass and
channel catfish.
San Antonio Lake offers beautiful vistas and
outstanding paddling opportunities.
