After a yearlong closure due to a dam repair project, Lake Hodges finally reopened for recreation and fishing.
ESCONDIDO, Calif. — Just in time for summer, Lake Hodges is finally open again for recreation. The lake had been closed for a year due to an ongoing dam repairproject.
“I’ve been fishing this lake since I was 20… My grandfather fished this lake. My dad loved this lake,” said Barry Benson.The city says people can now fish, kayak, float, rent fishing boats, hike and mountain bike in the area. The city says the dam repair project, which was originally expected to take only a few months, ended up taking a year because of defects that were found and cracks in the concrete. The record rainy season also slowed down their progress.
