The recreation area is open daily from sunrise to sunset. An East Bay Regional Fishing Permit, $4 per day, and California fishing license are required.

Marina and launch ramp: Fishing licenses and the East Bay Regional fishing permits are available, along with bait and tackle and a boat rental fleet of motorboats, patio boats, pedal boats, canoes, and row boats.     

Boating Regulations: Any size boat may be launched at the six-lane paved boat ramp, but personal watercraft are not allowed. If you are launching your own boat, be prepared for a mandatory boat inspection to stop the spread of destructive Quagga and Zebra mussels. The inspection requires an $8.00 fee, in addition to the park entry fee of $6.00 per vehicle. The boat launching fee is $5.00 for a trailered boat and $3.00 for a car-top craft.
