Murray Reservoir

The Murray Reservoir boat ramp provides access to this scenic 4,900-acre reservoir in San Diego County, California. The ramp is available for use by private boaters, who pay a small launch fee. Canoes, kayaks, and float tubes are permitted on the reservoir.

Paddlers and boaters should note that the boat ramp may become inaccessible when the water level drops below 86 feet, typically in the summer months. During these periods, shoreline access to the water can also become unsafe and muddy. It's a good idea to check the current conditions before visiting.

For those looking to explore the reservoir, the nearby Cabrillo National Monument and San Diego National Wildlife Refuge offer additional recreational opportunities, from hiking and wildlife viewing to historical interpretation. Boaters and paddlers can enjoy the scenic setting and potentially spot a variety of waterfowl and other wildlife along the shoreline.
