Share with others the experience of paddling this exquisite lake, which provides dazzling mountain views and a variety of inlets to explore. You can canoe and kayak Lake Morena in sections, or you can paddle the entire perimeter, which is about four-hours when the lake is full. Unfortunately, due to the prolonged drought in California, the lake hasn’t been full in many years. Lake Morena is a man-made lake. It is the most remote lake of San Diego’s reservoirs. The only source of water is from rain run-off, which causes the lake’s water level to fluctuate from year-to-year. Occasionally, the lake is drained by the city and the water level can drop drastically up to fifty percent less than its capacity. Lake Morena usually has calm waters due to a 25mph boat speed limit which prohibits fast powerboats, jet and waterskiing. The only drawback is that swimming and water body contact is not allowed.
Lake Morena provides outstanding kayak
angling action for trout, bluegill, crappie,
redear sunfish and bass. The fishing was so
superb it was almost to the point of being
too easy. Even the 4-year-olds were reeling
them in from along the shoreline, with their
Snoopy fishing rods. Rainbow trout also
offer good angling opportunities.
