Lincoln Park Lake

Lincoln Park Lake is one of the oldest urban fishing holes in Los Angeles. CDFW still lists it for catchable rainbows in the cool months. Carp and bluegill live there the rest of the year. It is not Castaic, and it is not trying to be — it is a bus-ride fishery with a century of local history.

What you'll find here

Historic Eastside park lake. CDFW trout plants in cool months.

Regulations reminder

Size limits, bag limits, seasons, and MPA rules are set by CDFW and can change in-season. Public-pier license exceptions (CCR 1.88) apply only on qualifying structures — not on the beach next to them. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with CDFW.
