The gate to the Lower Otay Lake Reservoir Boat Launch area is open Saturday and Sunday sunrise to sunset and on some Wednesdays see website for current schedule. In addition to the boat launch and floating pier for fisherman, there are walking and biking trails that start from north west corner of the parking lot. The condition of the trails ranges from gravel road, dirt path to muddy and slippery paths if it has recently rained. 

The main service road is made up of crushed gravel and it meanders from the boat launch parking lot to the skull boat house, which is closed to the public. You will find smaller dirt trails that depart the service road in all directions. Some dirt paths make their way up towards Wueste Road while others head to towards the lake shoreline. For the most part the trail is open and exposed to the sun. There are no water fountains. Keep yourself and dog if applicable well hydrated. Dogs on leash are permitted on trails.
