San Pablo Reservoir Recreation Area offers a six-lane boat launch facility accommodating motorboats and kayak/canoe launching, with all boats requiring inspection prior to launch.

The facility features boat rentals (patio boats, motor boats, and row boats), a visitor center with fishing licenses and tackle, picnic areas with lake views, and a 5.

5-mile hiking/biking trail along the west side; note that swimming is prohibited as this is a drinking water reservoir, and boat launches operate on a limited seasonal basis with mandatory vessel inspections and quarantine requirements.
