Visited on 9/14/2018, during a visit to the San Diego area proctoring Drinking Water Operator Certification examinations in the evening after the exams I explored several lakes in the area. About an hour's drive from San Diego, Lake Cuyamaca is a picture-book 110 acre lake that is proof positive that good things come in small packages. Situated at an elevation of 4,650 feet in an Oak and Pine forest, it is surrounded on three sides by the 26,000 acre Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, which is 52% wilderness. Lake Cuyamaca seems to be a nice getaway for folks to escape the city life for the day or several days. Few places in San Diego County offer the pristine views that greet your eyes wherever they may wander. The dam was originally build in 1887 and thanks to a dedicated group of residents and sportsmen. On the day I visited the water level was very low and I had to take my picture at the boat dock located right behind the popular little restaurant with the claim to fame is it makes the “Worlds famous Apple Pie”. The lake is located about six miles south of the quaint little town of Julian, California. Julian, California is famous for its apple pie. You can get great pie at many places in Julian. Dine overlooking beautiful Lake Cuyamaca on our comfortable deck or in the dining room.
