Castaic Lake State Recreation Area (Lagoon)

The Castaic Lake State Recreation Area (Lagoon) offers a convenient boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized watercraft to access Castaic Lake. The lake is a large reservoir covering over 2,000 acres, making it a popular destination for recreational boating and fishing.

The boat ramp is located on the upper section of the lake, approximately 2 miles up Lake Hughes Road from the main park entrance. There are two launch ramps available to accommodate varying water levels. The ramps provide direct access to the expansive lake, which is surrounded by rugged canyon walls and scenic mountain landscapes.

While the lake offers ample space for paddling and boating, it's important for users to be aware of potential algal blooms, as the California Department of Water Resources monitors conditions and provides updates online. Visitors should also familiarize themselves with the park's fees and regulations before launching. Nearby campgrounds, such as Zuni Campground, provide convenient options for those looking to extend their stay and further explore the Castaic Lake Recreation Area.
