Santa Margarita Marina

Santa Margarita Marina Marina Store, Boat Rentals & Gas Station open all year Thursday to Monday. Closed Tuesday/Wednesday. Motor vehicles are not permitted in the natural area.

Created by the construction of the Salinas Dam in 1941, Santa Margarita Lake was originally designed to furnish water to Camp San Luis Obispo. Today, swimming in the lake is not permitted as it is the drinking water reservoir for the City of San Luis Obispo. Beyond the developed area of the park, Santa Margarita Lake natural area represents several thousand acres of designated open space. This sec

tion of the park is managed for its natural resource values, passive recreational use, and environmental education opportunities. The area is accessible to hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. With thousands of acres of unspoiled open space, the park is home to countless species of plants and wildlife making it the perfect location for nature study, boating, and fishing.
