Amazing hidden gem! The lake’s reflection is so pristine, it mirrors the sky and trees with breathtaking perfection, as if nature itself painted this masterpiece!

Lake Anza is truly a hidden gem! The location is stunningly beautiful and impeccably clean. The way the sun filters through the giant trees creates the most breathtaking ambiance, perfect for a relaxing day out. We had a lovely picnic on the open green grass, and the weather couldn’t have been better—mid 70’s, just right for snuggling up with a loved one or enjoying time with family. Despite visiting on a Sunday afternoon, the area wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A major plus is the free parking, which is always a bonus! One tip: If you want to park close to the lake, make sure to search for “Lake Anza Parking Lot” in your GPS. Otherwise, you might end up walking a few miles if you’re not familiar with the area. The bathrooms are located close to the parking lot and is easily accessible. Also very clean! There is also options to bbq but from the area we were sitting in, we couldn’t see where those were placed on the property. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful and picturesque day outdoors!

We used to swim in Lake Anza in the early 1980s. I hadn't been in years. But alas, today, 7/10/24, the lake was closed to swimming because of harmful algae present ☹️
About Lake Anza
Nestled within the lush expanses of Tilden Regional Park, Lake Anza emerges as a sparkling jewel for those seeking solace from the bustling city life. Though relatively small in size, this reservoir exudes a natural charm, surrounded by towering trees and picturesque landscapes that reflect vividly on its tranquil waters. An ideal retreat for families and individuals alike, Lake Anza offers a wide range of activities that cater to both the adventurous spirit and those looking for relaxation. Visitors are treated to a pristine sandy beach, where a well-maintained swimming area invites visitors from May to September. With a lifeguard on duty, families can feel at ease as they cool off in the refreshing waters. However, it's essential to keep an eye on local advisories as occasional algae growth can impact swimming conditions. For those inclined towards dry land pursuits, a scenic trail loops around the lake, offering a peaceful walking experience. Along the path, you'll encounter various picnic spots surrounded by greenery, perfect for a memorable family outing or a romantic picnic. Adding to the convenience, a small store on-site ensures that snacks and refreshments are never far away. Whether planning a day of barbecuing by the lake or a relaxing afternoon lounging on a blanket, Lake Anza provides a versatile nature escape not far from urban centers. With ample parking space, clean facilities, and an ambiance of serene beauty, it's a wonderful destination to recharge and reconnect with nature.
