Hanging out in suburban San Diego is different from L.A. Instead of punkers, Goths, and trendsetters at a mall, you might find bohemian campers, hardcore bass fishers, and waterskiing wizards at a lake. There are a good number to choose from, depending on your needs, and most are stocked full with fish regularly. Other options for lakeside leisure are hiking, boating, tubing, and wildlife watching. You’ll be a return customer in no time.

- The tranquil surface of Lake Wohlford is a deceptive veil atop the frenzied action of fish below. With 190 acres stocked with trout, largemouth bass and catfish, this spot is pure dreamland for fishermen.
