Boating & Fishing |
Merced is surrounded with great boating and fishing destinations within an hours drive. Head over to San Luis Reservoir to the West or Lakes McClure and McSwain to the East, as well as variety of other local destinations.
Lakes McClure and McSwain
These lakes enjoy the reputations of being known as the very best fishing lakes in California. This may be due to the elaborate trout, king salmon and Florida largemouth bass stocking programs. Or perhaps it is because so many fish call our lakes home, including rainbow trout, black bass, spotted bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, salmon and shad.

San Luis Reservoir - State Recreation Area
Nestled in the grassy hills of the western San Joaquin Valley near historic Pacheco Pass, San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area is noted for boating, board sailing, camping, and picnicking. But it's anglers who find the unit's three lakes most inviting. The area around San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay is often very windy, and winds can come up quite suddenly. Watch for the wind warning lights.
