Lake Nacimiento is one of the finest lakes in California! At 18 miles long, there is lots of room for wakeboarding, wake surfing, swimming, fishing and just enjoying a day on the lake. The spotted bass and white bass fishing is excellent. The Lake Nacimiento water levels can fluctuate quite a bit due to Monterey County purposely letting water out of the dam through the summer for fishery and irrigation uses downstream. The lake is often referred to as 'The Dragon' because it's resemblance to looking like a dragon when viewed on a map.
