About the Lake: San Antonio has alot to offer the outdoors enthusiast. The 650 campsites at the lake are located in the Lynch, Harris Creek, and North Shore areas. Some of these campsites are visited by deer that will take a piece of bread right out of your hand. There are miles of well marked hiking trails, and bicycle trails too. The Wildflower Festival is held here every spring, and is a popular event for many of the locals. At certain times of the year eagle watching tours are available. There are lots of Bald Eagles, that call the area around San Antonio, home. The lake is surrounded by oak covered hills on the south shore and sparsely vegetated hills on the north shore. The lake is operated by the Monterey County Parks and Recreation Department.
