There are cherished treasures all around us,
tucked in the most unexpected places. Lake
Solano is one of those treasures. Many people
have never heard of this stunning lake until
they accidentally pass a sign that reads, “Lake
Solano Regional Park” while driving on their way
to Lake Berryessa.
There aren’t many lakes close to the Bay
Area that provide opportunities for camping,
kayaking and fly-fishing all at the same
place. In fact, this is the only one.
It’s nearly impossible not to be drawn to
Lake Solano’s breathtaking views of low
rolling foothills, its diverse nature, and
wildlife that make this an extraordinary
paddling getaway for flat water kayak and
canoe enthusiasts.
One of the best ways to start your visit at
Lake Solano is in a kayak, drinking in the
beauty and getting to know the layout of the
lake. Exploring the lake by kayak is a
peaceful experience. As you glide along the
glassy water surface, leave your troubles
behind, and soak in the spectacular scenery
around you. The water tends to be very calm
and can be surprisingly clear at times. The
lake’s placid surface is excellent for
kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing, but
keep in mind the water is ice cold, and
there’s a current at the upper end of the
lake.
Lake Solano offers many wonderful
recreational opportunities, assuring that
everyone will have an enjoyable time.
Overall, if you’re looking for a great
weekend getaway, Lake Solano is one of the
best paddling and camping destinations
in the Bay Area. Whether you want to
experience wildlife, indulge in some
spectacular photography opportunities,
paddle on the
clear blue water, have a
picnic in a beautiful park or camp under the
stars, Lake Solano is the spot for you.
