Castaic Lake, Recreation reservoir in Los Angeles County, US

Castaic Lake extends across 11,200 acres of parkland with 29 miles of shoreline and reaches depths of 147 feet at its deepest points.

Construction of the Castaic Dam in 1972 formed this reservoir, which became a crucial component of the State Water Project in Southern California.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment monitors fish populations and issues guidelines to protect the health of recreational anglers.

The park operates daily from sunrise to sunset, except December 25, offering facilities for boating, fishing, hiking, and group gatherings for 600 people.

The lake consists of two separate water bodies: the upper lake permits power boats and water sports while the lower lake supports non-motorized activities.
