Pardee Lake will reopen on Friday, March 11 at 5 a.m. after having gone through several refurbishment projects. This has been the longest closure in recent memory. Guests will notice improvements to the marina, main office and other park facilities. However, the seasonal RV park remains closed due to construction projects. Padre Lake will start taking reservations on Tuesday, March 1 when the business office opens at 9 a.m. Traditionally, the reservoir for decades opened in mid February and has closed at the end of October or in November. The Mother Lode impoundment will be stocked with rainbow trout prior to the opening.
