Lower Otay Lake Kayaking

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 way 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.
