Lake San Antonio Boating

Lake San Antonio is operated by Monterey County Parks. Launch ramps are open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM in the summer. Zebra & Quagga Mussel Vessel Screening is required before launching.

Boats must have an annual boat sticker or boaters can pay a daily launch fee. The annual boat sticker is also good at Lake Nacimiento. Houseboat owners purchase an annual pass which allows one boat and includes four vehicles. Non-motorized boats such as kayaks and canoes require a small fee also.
