The Whale Rock Reservoir is a 1350 acre reservoir created by the construction of a 193 foot tall earthen dam on Old Creek near Cayucos. It's located in the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, just a short drive inland from Cayucos at the end of Old Creek Road. The reservoir is a popular destination for hiking, fishing, bird watching, and just relaxing. Watercraft is not allowed, so you'll have to fish from the 2 miles of shoreline that is open to the public. Steelhead is the main draw for fishermen.
