About this lake
Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area is an 836-acre LA County park in Irwindale, built around a 70-acre lake below the Santa Fe Dam in the San Gabriel Valley.
On the water
The lake is for non-motorized watercraft only, so it's a calm place for kayaks, paddleboards and pedal boats. Boat and pedal boat rentals are available, and fishing is open year-round.
Swimming and summer
A five-acre chlorinated swim lake opens in summer, Wednesday through Sunday, with weekend-only days in late spring. Splash pads open in mid-June.
Hours
The park is closed Mondays and Tuesdays from March through October. Otherwise it opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 8 p.m. in summer and 6 p.m. in winter.
Getting there & access
Getting there
The entrance is on Arrow Highway in Irwindale, just off the 605 and 210 freeways.
Bringing a boat
Only non-motorized craft are allowed. Kayaks and paddleboards can be carried to the water from the parking areas.
