San Luis Reservoir Kayaking
  

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.
