Sly Park Recreation area offers something for everyone! The centerpiece of SPRA is Jenkinson Lake, providing opportunities to swim, fish, water ski or take part in a variety of paddle sports activities and rentals. No personal watercraft like SeaDoos are allowed on the lake.
The lake is surrounded by over 9 miles of trails that accommodate hikers, bikers, and horses. The trail system winds through thickly forested areas and open meadows while closely following the lake shore around the entire perimeter. Perhaps relaxing in the shade is your ideal activity, we have you covered there as well. Scattered throughout the park are a variety of day-use areas which are excellent picnic or cookout locations.
All Day Use Areas are in close proximity to the lake and have access to picnic tables, restrooms, and drinking water.
Located 2 miles from the park entrance. All sites have water and forest views, and a short walk to the lake. Trailer sites allow ONE TRAILER PER SITE.
WHY NO DOGS IN THE WATER - Jenkinson Lake is a drinking water reservoir and falls under the State of California legislative exemption that allows us to have people and boats in the lake. This same legislation requires no domestic animals in the water, as well as no diapers.
Your reservation fee pays for the first vehicle on the site only. There is a limit of 8 people per site (this includes children). A truck towing a trailer or an RV plus a tow vehicle counts as the two-vehicle maximum, even though it is allowed with the price of the site.
