Thanks to my friend’s recommendation, my husband and I recently visited the Miramar Reservoir for the first time. Located in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego, Miramar Reservoir is a place loaded with nature and atmosphere! One of those ‘hidden gems’ in my opinion. Nearly 5 miles of paved trail (and a few areas right next to the water) surround the ‘lake’.
Want to go fishing? You can obtain a fishing permit, bait & tackle from the facilities and concessions stand. Apparently the reservoir is home to largemouth bass, crappie (lol), bluegill, channel catfish, sunfish and trout. There are minimum size & amount limits.
Also visit the concession stand (opened Wednesdays through Sundays) for the following:
Hungry or Thirsty? Grab some snacks & drinks!
Up for some exercise with a bike ride? You can rent bikes for adventures on land!
Yearning for the water? You can rent kayaks, motorized boats, rowboats even pedal boats! Read here about restrictions and use of float tubes as well
Or, like us, simply power walk, or simply stroll the trail loop.
What are you waiting for???
Directions: Take #15 to Mira Mesa Boulevard traveling East. Take a right turn onto Scripps Ranch Boulevard, then a left on Scripps Lake Drive. You’ll see the entrance on your left.

First of all, the ‘geese patrol’ greeted us!
