San Antonio

San Antonio is located at an elevation of 900 feet. It has 5,500 surface acres, formed by the damming of the San Antonio River.

Lake San Antonio is open year-round with full-hookup campsites available. Campsites without full hookups but with water and electric are available. There is also a large shoreline camping area.

The lake area is an important wintering ground for Bald and Golden eagle as well as Osprey. The first Saturday of January,the parks department conducts an eagle count with the help of volunteers. The parks department also provides eagle watching tours and has an eagle watch boat to conduct sightings.

Largemouth, smallmouth and striped bass can be caught in San Antonio, an excellent year round warm water fishery.

Report: Cold cold cold - and - Slow Slow Slow --- Go to Naci. Might have better luck. This Lake was really shut off today. Only one in the boat. Hit every good spot we knew off, and obviously, we wen't the only ones having difficulty figuring out this water shed today. Still alot of algea in the water near the dam area by BeeRock cove. Were some beds there a week ago but didn't see anything around them. Figured they went deep. Tried 65 feet to 8 feet with nothing hooking up. Blades, cranks, jigs, finess and drop shot provesd fruitless. Seem things went South all day for us. Coke can blewup in my face, busted off the transducer when a wind gust shoved the boat off to one side loading it, then after all that, I popped a tire on the trailer. Should have stayed home! Might think twice about coming to Antone again.
