Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area

Yes they do, but people do not monitor their dogs or leash them. I went to walk my two dogs near the lake and someone had a large chihuahua that was loose and approached us. I yelled get your dog my German Shepherd will attack. It kept lunging at us and both my dogs were clearly aggressive back towards this dog in our space. I had to kick and yell, get away. There were dozens of people nearby and were all just gawking. No one came to help, stop that animal.I was choking my own dog trying to prevent him from grabbing this mutt by the throat. I had to drag and kick my way to the restroom to lock us in,I couldn't shut the door in time, it followed. I could at least kick the dog from under tbe openings of a stall but I am disabled and it was hot and I hurt. It was a major distraction for all of the park guests, yet not one person came to help. I was tuck in there a long time. The dog wouldn't leave. I just had to kick, drag and scream my way to my car. I should have let my GSD kill it.

Yes. There is access to the lake to swim Especially at this season.

Of course you can.

Yes trout and catfish

Are we allowed to bbq near the lake..on the sand part?

Yes they have camping, but it's very limited, it is one night only, it's the last Friday of the month from May until September. It's on a first come first serve basis, the gates open at 6:00 p.m. and they stop charging around 10 and they gates close at midnight.

Most definitely but on a leash

Parking is $10.00

They wont let you swim if the lifeguards aren't on duty n they aren't always there

Yes its open and the Bbq its allowed.

Early like 8am

The water opens at 10

If you choose to feed them, then choose a food meant for Ducks. However it is technically illegal to feed wildlife as it makes them dependent on humans and harder for them to adapt to nature.

No bike shop in the park

You don't want to swim there

And

I would say no. It's very dirty.

The ranger told they do, we was there fishing a week ago, he said every last Friday of each month

Betin Juarez it is open daily mon-sunday from 10-6 during the week is less people

I would need to call the number that appears, because as far as I know it is open from 6 in the morning until about 7 or 8 in the afternoon, I mean, you can't camp, but I'm not sure.

Yes, but apparently it is not possible to use lifeguards (which you don't really need, there are many lifeguards taking care of) just do not mess with the children much in the background so they do not attract your attention and / or take out, by the way, to enter I paid $ 12 bucks, reasonable price for such a quiet place.

Is going to be open in May

Yes it's open! There is a parking fee and kayaking/paddle board fee if you bring your own! Visit there website for pricing/fees! They are open 7 days a week unless otherwise noted on their website! They should have a phone # you can call as well to double check if they are open!

Durring the weekend the peddle boats can be rented.. cost is by the hour and is moderate to rent at $ 23 hr. Rate

Best to check the website for dates and hours of operation

MOTHER'S d as y weekend closed to swimming

I am pretty sure that alcohol is not allowed at any public park.

They have bass in there.

Opens up Memorial Day weekend for swimming all the way through Labor Day think it is. Hopefully this helps you

Yes a

Construction began in 1941 Opening Day 1949. For more detailed information go to Wikipedia

Not sure!but u can ride small boats out there

Swim from Memorial day until Labor day. That's when they'll be LIFE GUARDS.

I thi k you can

I don't think so!😀

You cannot go into the lake right now until they open the lake May 25th

No yet .. but the park is ready

I do not want you to be able to swim

I believe after Easter.

Doing the daytime

Yes, within limits

Yes will be open

If by car it's $ 10 per car, I do not know if they charge.

Yes you are but you would have to verify when are you allowed to do so .

You can take the fish you catch home. California state limits on species must be followed and are enforced.

Yes

Yes, but you would be better to go there ASAP, as the snow will be melted away. If you want to have a close view of Mt.Baldy, you can either hike up Sunset Peak from Mt. Baldy Village, it is about 6 miles round-trip with 1500 feet's gain or drive to Mt.Wilson Observatory where there is a view point.

$10.00 dollars

There are dirt trails on the north side of the lake.

The park is closed.

I see weddings at the renaissance faire most every year. I recommend doing that. You can catch ppl doing birthdays and celebrations at the park, so maybe something small. But a full scale, catered wedding and/or reception might be a stretch.. Might get more answers on the website. Hope this helps.

I have seen troops camp here in the past. You can get detail at the following link . . . http://parks.lacounty.gov/santa-fe-dam-recreational-area/#

Bass. Catfish are stocked during summer months, trout during winter. There are also blue gill. Not sure about crappie.

5pm

Yes

It's a rather large area. I can't say for sure but I did see an area that had a huge marked off circles in the dirt. I wondered what they were for but now that you mention it... they probably do . You should call to find out for sure.

The parking lots close at 8:00 pm, but bicycles and pedestrians can still get in from the bike path leading down from the dam

Being that the recreation area is a wide open space it may have higher possible occurrence of wildlife of say a regular neighborhood. People bring food to have picnics which would attract animals but the large groups that go there would certainly keep wary animals away.

Yes

Very busy they closed around 9am because it gets pack

630 to get a good spot on holiday weekend you might want to come earlier cause it gets pack

Ofcourse And also is really keep affordable price

Thanks for your attention God bless you all

No dogs cant be in the water. But they can enjoy the park

Yes it is

It's open today, I'm not sure how close it is to fire but I do know it's safe. There is no smoke from fires. I was just there yesterday and it was very clear sky.

of course

thanks brother

Cash only

Not the lake

Yes

$ 10 per car, if you are going to bathe in the Lake it is already included in the $ 10 you pay to enter

It is open

There are fire pits , due to the extreme weather conditions that we have had I would suggestion that if you do have a campfire. Be overly cautious with all aspects of the fire. DO NOT LET THESE THINGS HAPPEN!l.

Bring a water jug so that after you are finished with the cooking you can extinguish your fire safely. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FIRE UNATTENDED. NOT LET CHILDREN PLAY WITH THE FIRE. We cannot survive another Brushfire or Wildfire!!!!

I would do my best not to drink much? It probably won't hurt "you" though! People eat the fish they catch.

Siomon.

I have not been camping there. I have had many experiences camping. Anything from R.V. to hike or ride a bike into the camping area. Overnight to extended stay of up to two weeks. Plan ahead, bring slighty more than you think you'll need. WATER! Equipment to react in response to the conditions. Disposal of excrement , or trash is most important!!!

Thank you. I asked bcuz b4 was thur to sun. And i has a friend go on monday and they got inside the water.

You can get inexpensive fishing gear at some local stores. That way it is yours and you can use it next time. Just get a complete rod and reel set. Buy some tackle for the type of fish that you would like to catch. A medium sized hooks some basic tackle. Nightcrawlers are larger worms and may work better. Weights , bobbers, hooks, and bait are things that you may loose. Get a few more than you think you need. Save everything except the worms unless you are going tomorrow too! You can get some bait in jars , that can last until next time too.

I'm thinking no..but if one falls into a cup I'm sure they wouldn't notice.

What days is it open

Only for the fish

Every day it is open

There are better places to go than there

$10 for car

Yes you can swim.

Bonelly Park has Lake and you can bbq

I don't see why not..make sure your watching them ;)

Not to the best of my knowledge. There may be a place to park R.V's for a short time. You must follow any of the park rules while doing this.

Yes

Simon

Only for swimming

It will be open but no fireworks. I know the rosebowl is having fireworks. Enjoy and have fun.

Like early to early for me..get in as fast as you can..odds are it's crazy packed.

No works :/

Propane is allowed

$ 10

If it is open all year. They open at 7:00 am. Enjoy and have fun.

There is a lot of wild live in the park, specially geese squirrels and coyotes. Yust skip around it and jumpt in the water. Enjoy have fun in nature.

Day use only

The depth up to where your allowed to swim is between 6 to 8 feet but the the further you go the deeper it gets. Remember the life guards won't allow you to go further than the safety ropes. Have fun ENJOY !!!🚴😎

The truth is that I do not think it is allowed, they are extremely strict in the area designated for bathing, they do not allow clothes that are not swimsuits (no T-shirts, no sports pants, or pants or shorts that are not exclusively for swimming) also, with everything respect, I do not think it is a suitable place for such events (sectarian / religious rituals) I think it would be something uncomfortable that would disturb the Peace and tranquility of the place, since it is an exclusive place for "Family Recreation"

No

I have seen of an evening after 5p no one is working at the guard shack to collect $ you can drive on thru

Definitely you can skate all day long! Have lots of funnnnnnnn !!!

I guess whenever you'd like to..your call just do it.

Idk if I would swim in it period..that's just me knock yourself out.

The park, Santa Fe Dam opens at 6:3o am and clses at 8:00 pm. Enjoy it's beautiful.

$ 10 dollars only Friday, Saturday and Sunday

$ 10.00 per car.

Lake is always open. Don't know about pool.

Only when they open the dam gates

What , don't Dookie in the poool

It's closed most of the time now, I think they don't want to pay for lifeguards. I wouldn't go in though...

Only of you have sick moves

They open at 6:30 am.

Events at the park are required to be approved by the city parks & recs department, setting a date, time, and providing an appropriate location.

Only if you're authorized personnel

The only dogs allowed are poodles in fancy outfits. All of the other dogs must stay behind a certain line because they are not fancy poodles.

It's not too bad. Just be sure to plan ahead and arrive early. Besides seeing so many people there enjoying the same things that you do, is actually pretty cool !!! Great way to meet people and make new friends who are also in tune with nature! Sometimes an empty park is good for reflection and enter peaceful soul searching... but on the other hand! A loaded park is alive with energy and laughter, games and a happy environment for everyone! Embrace the crowds and have a fantastic day at the park! Its your day!!!! Make it fun no matter how many happy souls are there! Hope this helps!

You see families carrying chairs. Coolers. Toys. Hats. Bbqs and don't forget to bring lots of water and maybe a little sunscreen. It depends on where you set up. You want to be closer to the bathrooms especially if you have kids.. Every once in awhile you might see a falcon swoop n grab an unsuspecting bird that is flying by.
