I like this lake because it's peaceful and it has beautiful view. There is a walking trail for those who might enjoy one. There are also boat rentals. There is small store that you can purchase a few snacks. We got some water, chips and a few postcards. We also saw some picnic tables. Overall, it was a great experience.

Great staff, really helpful getting paddle boards and kayaks in the water. Everyone staying Covid safe. Lots of tables for laying out the food and drinks.

A jewel of north county especially when foggy on the coast and it’s sunny out at the lake. Great place for walk or ride.

Really nice trails for walking or biking. For mountain biking I recommend starting on the pomerado side , riding towards the lake and Hernandez hideaway restaurant.

I know near the free parking area there are some picnic tables but I honestly don't remember any bbq I have fished there for many years but never had a need for one. I would bring a small one to be safe. From the pictures I know that they did have some at one time.
