Beautiful lake. Many people come here fishing and having picnic. You can also hike to potato chip rock from here. But it cost some money to enter this lake at weekends.

Great place for trail running! The loop is a little under 3 miles with approximately 500 ft of elevation. Most of the trail is smooth, and there are plenty of nice views of the lake! I went early and it wasn't too crowded. But it was cold! There's a $10 fee if you're from out of town. The best part is the bathrooms. The trailhead has bathrooms, and the trail has several porta potties.

1. Parking = 10 dollars on weekends. Idk about weekdays. I heard parking is free for poway residents. 2. Lake is calm and quiet... nice park and grassy land 3. Park closes at 7 15pm 4. Paddle boat closes before 6pm. Motor boating for recreational purposes closed down pretty fast too. 5. People would come here to gather and eat.
About Lake Poway
Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Poway, California, Lake Poway is a serene oasis offering a perfect getaway for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers. This expansive lake is known for its beautiful, calming waters and lush, grassy parks, making it an ideal destination for a variety of activities. Whether you're an angler looking to reel in the catch of the day or a hiker eager to explore the surrounding trails, Lake Poway has something for everyone. The hike to the famous Potato Chip Rock starts here, and while the trek might cost a little on weekends, the experience is well worth it. The lake is particularly celebrated for its trail running, with a loop just shy of three miles and a 500-foot elevation gain, offering stunning views across the tranquil waters. Despite the occasional chill, mornings are a wonderful time to enjoy the trail with views largely to yourself. Weekends come with a small entry fee for non-residents and active military, and a $10 parking fee. However, Poway residents enjoy free parking. While the park closes at 7:15 PM, boating activities, such as paddle boating and motor boating, wrap up before 6 PM. Facilities are well-maintained, with convenient restroom access at the trailhead and along the trail, ensuring comfort during your visit. Overall, Lake Poway is not just a spot for fishing and hiking but also a delightful place to gather with family and friends for picnics and leisurely outdoor enjoyment. Pack your gear, prepare for a great day out, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and recreational offerings of this charming lake.
