Joshua Tree National Park

1. San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area

We are on our way for a week's vacation to Mesa Verdw Mational Park in 1972. We traveled on Cal Highway 152 and we are near Interstate 5. We stop a a viewpoint to see the San Luis Reservoir. Nestled in the grassy hills of the western San Joaquin Valley near historic Pacheco Pass, San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area is noted for boating, board sailing, camping, and picnicking. But it's anglers who find the unit's three lakes most inviting. The area around San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay is often very windy, and winds can come up quite suddenly. Watch the wind warning lights at the Basalt entrance station, Quien Sabe Point, and Romero Visitor Center. On the forebay, wind warning lights are located at the Medeiros boat ramp and above the South Beach picnic area at San Luis Creek.
