San Pablo Recreation Area
Known in the East Bay as one of the finest fisheries, San Pablo Reservoir Recreation Area lies between Orinda and El Sobrante off San Pablo Dam Road and offers a wide variety of exciting recreation services. An angler's paradise, the reservoir is open from mid-February through October and is closed during the migratory bird season as part of EBMUD's wildlife enhancement program. San Pablo Reservoir is an EBMUD drinking water reservoir so swimming and wading is prohibited and to reduce the possibility of gasoline components in the reservoir, only four-cycle engines using MTBE-free gasoline are allowed. Some of the many services offered at the reservoir include:
Important Information for Weekday Boaters The San Pablo Recreation Area boat launch is open Thursday through Sunday and all major holidays. All boats coming in to the boat launch will be inspected for invasive species and standing water. If there is any standing water in your boat, you will not be allowed to launch. Please check your boat prior to coming in to the park and leave extra time for the inspection process. For detailed inspection requirements, click here. Cartop boats are now allowed to launch at the main recreation area everyday with a 7 or 30 day inspection clearance only. If you do not have a signed/stamped inspection form, you will not be able to launch. Inspection forms must be taken inside the visitors center for launch access. Inspections are not performed at the main recreation area and are performed at the boat launch Thursday through Sunday only. All applicable fees must still be paid. Signed/stamped inspection clearance forms from all other EBMUD reservoirs will be accepted at San Pablo as well. Remember, dogs are never allowed in any boat on San Pablo Reservoir. Directions to
