Well worth the visit! Rich in history and still pretty untouched... Please visit with caution and respect for the land. Very special place

Came to this lake in June of 2025. When we got there we were advised that neither charcoal or firewood was permitted to be burned. The campsite was very small and did not have any space to set up comfortably. The lake was DIRTY!! There was so much algae and the water was so muddy. Definitely did not feel safe to get into the water. Definitely DO NOT recommend camping at this lake.

Just finished a trip to Lopez Lake …. Great place to take the family. The trout were a good size and a Special shout out to the staff at the marina store & Park Rangers You made our trip smooth 🙌. Campsites were a little small but clean. Looking forward to our next trip.

Beautiful drive, beautiful lake, and what a convenient store/ restaurant. When The lemon groves along the way are flowering the smell is amazing. Dogs are allowed on leash. Park rangers Emily staff are awesome and friendly. There are docks to fish off and picnic tables with BBQ grills in beautiful spots all around the lake. They are a bit of a walk from the lake's edge though. I believe it's due to Lake level fluctuation. Beautiful place year-round.
