Lake Morena County Park is a camping and fishing park located in East County San Diego. Because of its location - southwest of the Laguna Mountains - the park shows characteristics of desert, coastal, and mountain habitats. Lake Morena sits at an elevation of 3,000 feet. It is the most remote reservoir in all of San Diego County. The park features 8 miles of non-motorized multi-use trails, TRACK trails for kids, pavilion, corporate meeting space and a playground.
It's a popular vacation spot for several reasons:
It's a hop, skip and jump away from the well-known Pacific Crest Trail.
The lake is regularly stocked with a variety of freshwater fish.
On site are a number of partial RV sites, 86 campsites and group sites - even wilderness cabins!
Ample day-use picnic areas are available.
Be sure to bring water, a snack, good footwear, and sun protection.
Motorized boats can be rented for daily fishing and touring the lake. Swimming and direct-body contact are not allowed. For further information, call the park at (619) 579-4101. Additionally, the boat dock is subject to closure during inclement weather which includes high winds, electrical storms, rain and snow storms. Please call ahead.
