Anderson Lake County Park — Attraction in Morgan Hill

I am not entirely sure how to rate this place. Honestly. I would like to give my best, though.

We went expecting for a place to sit down by the lake. We were so wrong. If you want it to be a picnic spot then be prepared to be satisfied with a creekside place.

There is a park entrance fee of $6 per vehicle. You can take a nice little drive on the dam. Stop and take some beautiful pictures of the lake.

I think this place is best for boat rides. My interpretation is purely based on my observation and not by experience. On a nice sunny day you see a lots of boats on the lake. If you are enthusiast then you can give a try and explore for yourself. Unfortunately I am not one.

Also, this is my first time to this place. I will explore more around the place to look for picnic spots. Which is what I am...

The one star is purely because the lake is mostly dried up. My entire childhood was spent at Anderson so to see that the boat dock goes into literal dirt, the day use lot and spot is all closed off and overgrown with paths that go nowhere, and the memorial of Marissa( RIP SWEET GIRL) is heartbreaking and shocking . It had some water, after you cross the " fancy bridge" and drive about 6 -8 minutes, THEN , you can see water wayyyyyy in the distance . We left sad and disappointed, after 30 mins of driving mountain roads , we saw literally nothing ... The city/ county should just...

Love this park. There are only a couple short hiking/biking trails, which meander around the dam, and then onto the hill above the dam. In the spring, there are lots of beautiful wild flowers. I dislike the rangers, who have one mission in life, which is to sell parking violations. Hint: don't park your car in the parking lots, or if you do, be sure to purchase the parking pass (rip off!). Instead, park in the lovely newer neighborhood across the street, where there is plenty of free on-street parking. Or better yet, ride your bike...
