Lake Casitas is a large lake with various places to hike. There is a $15 entrance fee unless you park outside the gate and walk in or unless you have breakfast there. If you eat there, they will refund your entrance fee to the park. The lake is low as we are in a prolonged drought but it is still very lovely.
