Castiac Lake is the largest state water project reservoir in the Southern California area, with over 11,000 acres of land under its umbrella. The lake is famous for sport fishing, with a sizable number of world record fish coming from its depths, including a 47-pound channel catfish. If you’re not an angler, the lake offers many other activities—in the summer months, the lower lagoon is open for swimming and non-powered boating, with 197 acres of shallow water to dive, inner tube, or just explore. Adjacent campgrounds can accommodate up to 60 sites, with RV access available. Lifeguards are always on duty as well. The upper lake is where motorized boats are allowed, and where the majority of the fishing happens. There is an $11 vehicle entry fee, and a $20 per day fee per campsite, which is quite reasonable.
