Reply With QuoteThe lake is pretty small, but besides the point, you may want to head up to Castaic Lake. It'd be a lot closer to go to from Torrance.
ANyone have any info on this lake? My wife and I might be heading down to SoCal with the boat to visit her sister in Torrance.
How far is it from Torrance?
Is it worth the drive?
Looks pretty nice but I don't remember much talk about it on here.

1:15 - 1:30 from Torrance assuming little to no traffic. Not a large lake, but then none of them in So. Cal. are. Somewhat muddy water the last time I was there. Not bad if you just want to go float some where.
Castaic is closer but LE is over the top since the HTM accident. I would avoid Castaic like the plague. Pyramid is closed.
I think you will be disappointed overall, but Piru may be your best bet. Now you know why everyone travels the 5 hours to hit up the Colorado River. It is worth it.
I was at Piru Friday and it's still 90+ feet down. The launching is fine still, but being that low limits the number of coves you can go hide in. They have a marina that sells beer if you forget, they won't allow the "Lake Lice", and during the week there's maybe 10 boats on the water
BTW: Pyramid is opening back up this Friday.....
YOu might even want to try Elsinore. THe drive from Torrance is about the same as to Castaic.

TOO SMALLTOO SMALL Avoid it:yuk: :yuk: :yuk: water not that good and low...Do Pyramid lake not much bigger but has better water...if your floating...otherwise go up river inlet arm good place to beach in the back...I'm still doing Berryessa next week
Avoid Piru. It's a mudhole. Pyramid re-opens on Friday July 2nd. Go there instead
hmmm, flip a coin huh?
More than likely it'll be a cruise and float type day, maybe a couple of drinks.
I'll check out Pyramid on the net and also let my wife read what you've all posted. Thanks for the info!

Pyramid, will probably be a zoo the first few days:eek!: for the first weekendI also heard the water looks terrible:yuk:
