The colors at Lake Cuyamaca were perfect for Ben and Melissa’s engagement session. We had a great time romping around in nature finding some spectacular angles. It was a lot of fun having the opportunity to shoot in a different area of beautiful San Diego.
Lake Cuyamaca is up near Julian. Here is a description from their website:
About an hour’s drive from San Diego, Lake Cuyamaca is a picture-book 110 acre lake that is proof positive that good things come in small packages. Situated at an elevation of 4600 feet in an Oak and Pine forest, it is surrounded on three sides by the 26,000 acre Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, which is 52% wilderness. Lake Cuyamaca is the perfect getaway for one day or up to ten nights. Few places in San Diego County offer the pristine views that greet your eyes wherever they may wander!
Stocked with over 38,000 lbs. of trout annually, Lake Cuyamaca is the only San Diego lake that is able to stock trout all year long. Other species of fish include Florida bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, bluegill and sturgeon.
Besides fishing, there are many other activities for the avid outdoorsman and the whole family, including:
- Hiking
- Boating
- Camping
- Bird Watching
- Duck Hunting
- Picnicking
- Special Event Hosting
