IMPORTANT NOTICE AS OF 7/1/21:
Beginning Thursday, July 1, 2021, the Personal Water Craft (PWC) Area at Castaic Lake Recreation Area will be closed to the public for the remainder of the 2021 season. This is due to the drawdown of the lake water, which is being done for the tower bridge seismic improvement project, overseen by the Department of Water Resources (DWR). This closure will create an overall safer environment for all users of Castaic Lake. We will continue to keep you up-to-date on the latest information on when PWC can return to the Castaic Lake Recreation Area. Thank you!
For questions, comments or concerns, please contact:
