Lower Otay Lake is located near the Mexico
border, just east of Chula Vista, about 20
miles southeast of San Diego. The lake is
owned by the City of San Diego and is home
to the United States Olympic Training Center
for rowing sports.
This picturesque lake offers a myriad of
recreational opportunities. Visitors can
enjoy fishing, hiking, birdwatching, and
boating. The lake is bordered by stands of
chaparral trees and rolling, brush-covered
hills, making it a prime destination for
paddling and angling.
Kayak anglers can relax and cast their rods,
hoping to reel in trophy-sized largemouth
bass. The lake's diverse underwater
structure, including holes, ledges,
submerged trees, and brush, provides
excellent habitat for these prized game
fish. Anglers may also catch bluegill,
crappie, and catfish.
The lake's amazing year-round weather and
natural beauty draw hundreds of visitors
annually. Renting a kayak is a great w ay
to experience the lake's tranquil waters and
scenic surroundings.
No visit to the San Diego area is complete
without a trip to Lower Otay Lake. Be sure
to pack sunscreen when you come to enjoy
this outdoor oasis.
