Lake Cachuma: If you continue on highway 154 you will come to Cachuma Lake. This is a large human made lake which offers great fishing. The lake is stocked with approximately 150,000 rainbow trout annually. Tent and RV camping are offered. Also check out the popular Yurts for accommodations near the lakefront. Boating is a popular activity here, there are rentals available. Because it is the source of Santa Barbara's drinking water, swimming is not allowed.
Regularly scheduled naturalist hikes are given. Some of the wildlife in the area are bears, deer, wild pigs, and other small animals. The American Bald eagle is a year round resident of the area. The park naturalists conduct a two hour "Eagle Cruise" from November through February, while wildlife cruises are conducted throughout the year.
In the wintertime the tallest of the Santa Ynez mountains which tower above Lake Cachuma in the east, are often covered with snow. On a crisp clear winter day this is a beautiful site.
