Visited on 6/25/2018
after administering a Wastewater Treatment Plant operator examination near Fallbrook,
California. Lake Ramona is a small 155
acre lake just west of Ramona, California.
Lake Ramona is located in the hills above the town of Ramona at 1,305 feet
above sea level.
Lake Ramona was built
in the 1980’s as a storage facility to provide inexpensive water for local
agricultural needs as well as an emergency storage in case a shortage should
arise. Access to this lake is rather difficult and great for endurance,
therefore keeping the population of people low. I recommend this trip in fall,
winter and spring as it gets HOT out here in summer.It is almost 3 miles one way and much of it is climbing up hill. You must go through the Blue Sky Reserve in Poway to get to this lake, which is quite beautiful and forested with greenery and flowers in the spring.
The lake is open year-round from sunrise to sunset. They close the gates in the parking lot at sunset so plan your trip accordingly! Make sure to bring snacks too as this hike works up an appetite! There is no swimming allowed but you can fish.
