Anglers can catch large mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. The park is the nesting place for waterfowl.  Hikers enjoy the Indian Nature Trail, a self-guided trail that shows how the Pomo people, who lived in the area for centuries, utilized the area’s resources. The trail passes through the site of what was once a Pomo village.  The park visitor center features displays about the area’s natural and cultural history.  The park includes a 147 space campground with lots of shade and most spaces a short walk from the lake.   NEW FOR 2012:  Eight camping cabins, walking distance from the lake.

We operate a store and boat slip rental located right in the parking lot adjacent to the boat ramp.  In addition to grocery items, we rent small (Kayaks) and large (pontoon) boats, provide overnight slip rentals, and battery or trolling motor charging stations.

Patagonia Lake is popular for a variety of recreational activities, including camping, picnicking, water skiing, fishing, and hiking. Created by the damming of Sonoita Creek, the lake is habitat for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish, and is stocked with rainbow trout during the winter. For anglers’ sake, the east half of the lake is designated a no wake area. Fishing docks for handicapped anglers is located at the Patagonia Marina and behind the Sonoita Creek visitor center.
