Salton Sea State Recreation Area |
One of the world's largest inland seas Salton Sea was created by accident when a dike broke during the construction of the All-American Canal in 1905. This 360 square-mile basin is a popular site for boaters, water skiers and anglers.
Salton Sea Recreation Area offers many in-season events, from educational programs to boat races. Bird watching is best from November through February. Fishing is best from June through September. Boating is good any time and vistas of the Santa Rosa Mountains across the massive lake are free for the taking. Reservations are suggested during winter months, but are not necessary for off-season use.
The Park has five campgrounds with a total of 1600 campsites. The popular full hookup sites at the Headquarters Camp should be reserved in advance. Three beach campgrounds -- Corvina, Salt Creek, and Bombay Beach -- provide a more primitive camping experience along the lake's shoreline.
