They could install some pubic water fountains. My water ran out after a long bike ride from bay area . The park office attendant was helpful to refill my bottle. Thank you so much.

Very beautiful view to see the reservoir and some rowing boats in the river. A natural habitat for ducks! We even saw a golden retriever swimming in the river catching his ball:-)

Nice trail for hiking. Recommend going clockwise. If you're up to the challenge go counter cw. Shaded trail about 60%. Great view once you arrive at the reservoir. Still great view at the top though.

Pray for rain... This photo was taken on the boat launch ramp, where I would normally be about 20' underwater. This picture should not be possible without a boat, and look at how much further down the lake level is from the picture... Please conserve water whenever possible.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

No, you cannot fly any drones in any county park. 😞 Its due to the medical helicopters. Other parks you need a permit to fly them.

There are no services, rentals or support of any kind, however if you have your equipment you can launch during normal operating hours. You cannot launch any motorized boats of any kind, they have to be human powered only.

Isn't the LEX drained right now? Sure looks that way from highway 17. I'd try Lockloman, near Felton.
