Medina Lake - Paddling

Review

Intro

Medina Lake is a beautiful lake near San Antonio, Texas. It was formed by the creation of the Medina Lake Dam on the Medina River and was created as a water reservoir for agriculture. The lake has been stocked with fish to promote recreational fishing and is very popular for bass fishing. 

What Makes It Great

The temperatures here can be very hot during the summer months, so be sure to bring shade as there are not many trees along the shoreline. There are only a few public places to launch into the lake, as most of its shoreline is made up of private property. 

Who is Going to Love It

Medina Lake is a great place to bring the family for a day of boating, fishing, or paddling, especially in the non-summer months. The fishing tends to be quite good year-round, thanks to stocking efforts.
