kayaking san antonio lake
  

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.
