Lake Hodges Dam in Southern California (San Diego)

Although not a conventional hiking destination, Lake Hodges Dam is a great place to explore by foot. The dam itself is very impressive, and the lake is one of the most beautiful sites of Southern California. If you feel adventures and tired of the ocean, it is a great place to go sightseeing of something that not that many people know of.

Lake Hodges Dam is a multiple-arch dam that sits on the San Dieguito River. It was commissioned by the Volcan Water Company and designed by John S. Eastwood. It was completed in 1918, and later purchased by the city of San Diego. Water from the Lake Hodges Reservoir services the customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District and the San Dieguito Water District.
