This sprawling reservoir offers a wide
variety of water-based recreational
activities, including fishing, boating,
swimming, jet skiing, waterskiing, sailing,
and windsurfing. However, paddlers should
exercise caution due to the dangerously
strong winds, vast distances between
shorelines, and the reservoir's 65 miles of
shoreline.
The two most scenic arms are located near
the Dinosaur Point Road boat launch on the
northwestern shore, making them more
suitable for novice paddlers. All boats,
including kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards,
must travel in a counterclockwise direction.
The Romero Visitors Center is open daily,
except on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area is
renowned for its boating, board sailing,
camping, and picnicking opportunities.
It is particularly popular with kayak
anglers, who are drawn to the reservoir's
abundant striped bass and catfish, which
provide excellent fishing, especially in the
spring and summer.
