Last year , during a long weekend in Julian, CA, we made a stop at Lake Cuyamaca, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The views around the lake were stunning, and we spent several hours fishing. My son and daughter were thrilled to catch the fish, adding to the joy of the experience. It's a fantastic spot for a family outing, and we highly recommend it!

beautiful place in autumn. went there in late October after heading to Julian, some leaves turn red/yellow. romantic fall color. bbq place and fish catching place. long walk if you follow the whole trail but you can also do a short walk, just turn back after crossing the bridge and seeing the fall leaves trees, ~45mins one way walk.
