Lake Murray

Lake Murray Reservoir is located within the boundary of Mission Trails Regional Park, which lies between the city of San Diego and the neighboring communities of La Mesa and Santee. The lake is open for shore fishing and private boats (when water level allows) seven days a week. There are small boat and kayak rentals available. Lake Murray is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Permits can be purchased from the Electronic Pay Station located in front of the old concession stand (it is not open). The picnic area and perimeter road are open seven days a week. Lake hours on all days are sunrise to sunset.
