Lake Wohlford lies nestled in the foothills of
San Diego’s North County, above Escondido,
approximately one hour north of San Diego. The
lake, surrounded by oaks, sycamores and
cottonwood trees, provides a peaceful paddle.
Its natural beauty and small size make Lake
Wohlford an ideal destination for novice
kayakers. The next time you head over to
Escondido, be sure to plan a visit here.
The best way to enjoy Lake Wohlford’s
gorgeous terrain is from the water.
Unfortunately, there is a temporary ban on
launching all private watercraft, in order
to protect Lake Wohlford from becoming
infested with invasive quagga mussels. The
ban includes fish finders and other
equipment that might have come in contact
with quagga mussel infested water at other
lakes in the vicinity. Before departing,
contact the park ranger at Ph: 760 839-4346
to see if they have lifted the ban on
private watercraft if you are planning on
kayaking here.
Until they do, it is a nice place to have a
picnic and to fish. There’s probably no
better place to fish one of San Diego
County’s lakes than Lake Wohlford. Nothing
can compare when trout are biting, sneaking
up on them in a kayak. With 146 acres of
water packed with trout, largemouth bass,
bluegill and catfish, this
destination
is a haven for kayak anglers. Don’t worry if
you don’t have a kayak, there’s plenty of
shoreline access to fish
 from. A State of
California fishing license is required for
all persons 16 years of age and older.
