About Lake Hodges

Lake Hodges is a lake and reservoir located in Southern California, about 31 miles north of San Diego and just south of Escondido, California. When full, the reservoir has 1,234 acres, a maximum water depth of 115 feet and 27 miles of shoreline. Lake Hodges is owned by the city of San Diego and supplies water to the San Dieguito Water District and Santa Fe Irrigation District.

It is a popular spot for fishing and water activities, including kayaking and SUP-ing! The shoreline offers picnic tables, barbecue grills, and an amazing 8 miles of lovely riparian and oak woodland trail around. Further along the trail, hikers can enjoy chapparal plant communities as well as coastal sage scrub in the hillsides and valleys surrounding the lake.
