AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
Reviewers describe a scenic lake with a vehicle entry fee, plenty of parking, well-stocked restrooms, a small shop, grills and trails with viewpoints. There is a nature centre with a film about the lake. Campsites are well spaced, though one camper was kept awake by loud music nearby.
About 20 minutes up Highway 138, this mountain lake sits higher and cooler than the desert floor, with a swim beach, picnic areas, easy trails and boat launches. The go-to summer escape when Hesperia is baking, and families make a full day of it. Bring layers even in summer — the elevation makes mornings and evenings chilly — and pack everything in, as services are limited.

This lake is gorgeous and the views are breathtaking. We went on Mother’s Day and it was amazing. Not too crowded and plenty of parking. Restrooms were fully stocked with toilet paper and the store was well stocked. My kids and I loved every minute of this day. Trash cans were available and we were able to grill. Highly recommend you come and spend the day here. We were flying our kites as well.

Got out of LA for some peace and quiet of course FREASH AIR. I stayed there for a few nights and brought my 21 foot bass boat. The ramp and dock was GREAT👍 EASY to load and unload myself. The staff and rangers are very friendly and helpful 👍👍. I recommend this place to all my friends in LOS ANGELES and county.
