Lake del Valle Details
This 708-acre reservoir has two picturesque beaches where you can spend the day swimming. East Beach is located on the eastern side of the lake and features a roped-off swimming area, a kayak, and paddleboard rental shop, and a snack bar. The West Beach is more gravel than sand, which also means it tends to be less crowded than the eastern side. Lifeguards are on duty during certain times of the year, although year-round swimming without lifeguards is allowed. Visitors can also go fishing, camping, or boating on the waters as well.
