The San Pablo Reservoir offers a serene and picturesque setting for paddling. Its long, narrow shape allows for easy crossover access, making it suitable for paddlers of all skill levels.

Beyond the excellent paddling opportunities, the reservoir features an assortment of hiking and horseback riding trails in the surrounding area. Restrictions on activities like windsurfing, SUP boarding, swimming, jet skiing, and waterskiing help reduce crowds and boat congestion, though the reservoir remains a popular destination for fishing and picnicking.

The San Pablo Reservoir is renowned for its exceptional fishing, with regular stocking of rainbow trout and catfish by the Department of Fish and Game. The concessionaire also plants 140,000 rainbow trout averaging a foot in length, making this a prime kayak fishing spot during the spring and summer weekends. Particularly productive fishing areas include Sandy Point and Berkeley Tower.

Whether you're a novice or experienced paddler, the San Pablo Reservoir provides enjoyment for visitors of all ages and skill levels.
