There is a concession stand available that provides bait and tackle for fishers, and ice cream, picnic supplies, and drinks for those with an appetite.

The Lower Otay Lake is a reservoir that is home to the United States Olympic Training center for rowing sports, so don’t be surprised when you see the famous red, white, and blue colors streaking past at undeniable speeds.
