Wow I'm Absolutely Thrilled we got a chance 2 take sometime away 4 ourselves and visited this beautiful place! Located in the heart of Fremont California, this Quarry Lakes are home to many wildflowers and wildlife. A Rare Fruit Grove the Peninsula contains both Native and Exotic Trees, and shrubs. The Gardens here grows various plants, Flowers, and assorted Roses, which captured many visitors to this Park. Thanks to the Restoration projects in the park, the area has attracted many Wood Ducks, Blue Herons, Water Birds, Northern Flickers, Tree Swallows, and many other kinds of birds. Definitely Delightful for a Nature Lover like me! The Rainbow And Horseshoe Lakes are currently open to the public for water contact. Fishing is allowed with a permit. These two lakes are stocked with Rainbow Trouts, Basses, Catfishs, and other game fish. Swimming, Jogging, Fishing, Boating, Hiking, and Picnicking are some of the many outdoor activities done here within this Quarry Lakes Regional Area. With just a small fee of 5 dollars per vehicle for a parking space, I can definitely spend a few hours exploring this Entire Park😆!!!

Place is awesome!!! First time there. But you can fish, there plenty of trails, bring your bike or water craft...grills next to water. Entrance $5. $5 for fishing. You can purchase a permit to fish here.

Quarry Lakes are beautiful and conveniently located a few minutes walk from the Union City BART station. Fishing at the lake for rainbow trout is fun, relaxing and makes for a delicious dinner. The lake is perfect for a nice walk, fishing, having lunch or just sitting while taking in the sun and views. Highly recommend Quarry Lakes

Beautiful lake with a wide range of bird species. I saw people fishing, walking or jogging. It’s a great place to picnic, probably when it is not raining. There are also two large covered picnic areas (for when it’s raining.)

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

yonny rangel | Aug 8, 2021
Garlen Lee | Aug 9, 2021

Was just there today, did not see a kayak rental place, brought my own. You might have to call and ask...maybe one near the lake. Got a little windy today, so be ready....also, if you bring your own, get ready for them to inspect it. Paperwork has to be filled out, one page. By the front kiosk where you pay for the permit. Plus a small fee.

Hows the fishing there??

Brian Soriano | Dec 7, 2019
Christine E Wright | Dec 8, 2019

Honestly not to sure but I heard there's some big ones in there. 20 years ago it great to fish there. Take chance you may catch a big one. It does get stock with fish best time to go is April your bound to at least catch a carp which I seen bigger ones then 18 inch's. They spawn around April so lots hundreds of new fish have hatch. Good luck and post your photo if you catch anything.

As of 06/08 the beach was close but there are other spots where a dog can enter into the water. I have seen couple of folks kayaking so I am assuming the dog can also enter into water from the same spot.
