Key comment:

Swimming at your own risk is allowed in designated areas and when lifeguards are off-duty at some parks. These include Del Valle, Shadow Cliffs, Lake Anza, Quarry Lakes, and Lake Temescal.

Park Activities
Swimming

The swim area is open spring through fall, with lifeguards on duty during posted periods. Swimming is permitted only in the designated swim area. Dogs are not allowed in the lake and the beach. Swimming is also allowed at your own risk when lifeguards are not on duty when the park is open from April through October. There is a beach access fee. Call the park office (510) 652-1155 for details or visit the Swim Facilities page.



Heading to Temescal in the next few days to check this out on the ground.

Signed up for Angels Camp Tri in just under 3 weeks. Need to get out there and test out the new wetsuit and get some sighting practice.
