LAKE PASSES

BRADLEY — Due to the closing of Lake San Antonio, County of Monterey Parks and Lakes has announced it will allow Lake San Antonio annual pass holders to use their pass at Lake Nacimiento during the closure. The Lake Nacimiento Resort has limited day-use/boat trailer parking and fills up quickly during the weekends. Consider going early and/or calling ahead to check on capacity. During busy weekends, the Lake Nacimiento North Shore parking area and launch ramp are also open but usually reach capacity. Officials are continuing to investigate the fish dieoff event at Lake San Antonio that resulted in the closure.
