    So people definitely swim here but from reading the Fresno Bee, they also occasionally drown here

    Amazing Audubon hike on the nature trail revealed the best of this place. You can swim though it seems a bit dangerous. Excellent for early morning birding.

    Came here with our family for family pictures. It is the base of a dam outside Clovis and is a recreational area that doubles as a desert backdrop!

    So fun! This place is a hidden gem. Lots of little "nooks" to set up camp for the day. It is VERY crowded (at least on Saturday when we went), but if you go on the "trail," it's nice. I'd say my only complaints are (1) For a $5 parking fee, they're not maintaining the area. The trash is overflowing and the bathrooms are just gross (2) The trail isn't super clearly marked...or at least the one that we found. Other than that, it's a beautiful place!

    I didn't even know this park existed and I have lived here pretty much most of my life. It was really easy to find, lots of parking spots in different areas, we came here early in the morning, so it was pretty empty and nice for us to take family pictures. There were many trails we could have taken, we did take one and it was clean and clear, there was some graffiti on some of the huge rocks, but nothing to bad, I guess it is known as a party place for teens, which I didn't know that also, but can see why. The river/lake is really pretty too. We came here during the fall, but it would be nice to see in the spring time the greenery and flowers and such. I would totally come back here to venture more, it was a great little getaway for our photo session.

    When you dont have much to do in city, This is good place to escape out, This park has $5 entry fee but if you admire nature, It's worth the drive and entrance fee, Once at backside, you can find enough sitting spots near San Joaquin river, The river bed is very quiet throughout the park except at the end where it uproars near the end. You can also do BBQ as they have 4 working pits but washroom is in a terrible situation, forget about the soap, they dont even have running water. When you are charging $5 for park maintenance, This is the least they can do to maintain basic hygine

    Pretty cool little getaway to walk around. We saw people bbqing and swimming. We took our dog on the nature trail and had fun. We found a secluded spot along the water and just listened to nature. There's a lot of graffiti on the rocks which is unfortunate, at least make it pretty graffiti. Very affordable entry $5

    Little fish Jess caught from the lake

    Best time to go is during the week there is Hardly anyone there it's like having a whole lake to yourself just the way I like it there's a nature trail and lizards in the restroom which was neat for the kids we took a net from the dollar store and caught fish and released them my kids aren't patient enough to use fishing poles lol $5 to get in and a get back drop for pictures

    I love going to this place , it's only 14 min from my house and feels like we are outside Fresno. My son loves getting in the shallow area of water and sitting on big rocks. It's so peaceful, calm and serene. We like eating lunch at the picnic table by the water. Entrance fee $5 is well worth it. I'd rather come here and pay $5 than going to Woodward Park and pay the same fee. Plenty of parking areas, it's never too crowded even on the weekends.

    Nice river scenery view but too hard to feel relax when you can't really walk around without stepping on dogs or geese poop. Left 10 mins after i paid $5. Way too many poop on the ground area. People should clean up after their pet , please.

    Ask the Community - Lost Lake Park

    Is this park still open due to clovid-19?

    Technically it is closed. But you can park off the street and walk in. Please be mindful of your trash, since there isn't anyone manning the trash cans.

If you haven't stopped by this park before, please note that parking fills up fast-especially on weekends and holidays-but it is worth it. Nestled in a residential area of central north Fresno, this park has something for everyone. If you want to throw a party, there is a sheltered picnic area that you can use. I highly recommend that you reserve the space through the City of Fresno, as it is often booked. There is an ADA accessible path, a water feature that meanders through the grounds and can be very refreshing in the hot Fresno summer. There is a sand play area, swings, see saw, climbing structure and a lovely park path that overlooks a ponding basin filled with fish, turtles and water birds. This particular basin has a small island with large trees that are often filled with white cranes and other birds. The park grounds offer quiet benches under shade trees to sit for a while, grassy gently sloping lawns that are great for frisbee or other family activities. This is also an amazing place to find a ton of baby geese in the spring....super cute! I've seen folks relaxing and flying kites here....playing ball, and just enjoying being off screen and outdoors. Check it out, if you haven't already!

    My wife and I recently became full timers and we stayed at Park of the Sierras looking for a place…read moreto visit our son. After staying for nine days we found out that you had to become an escapee's member and the cost was $49. To join for one year. The park refunded this in a free night credit. While staying here we met the park manager and took a tour after finding out they are a 55+ members park. After reviewing the park information and seeing what a beautiful park this was we decided to make this our home base. We travel to many places after retirement but found that we needed a place to hang out hat for Dr. appointments, and staying connected with our family in the Central Valley. We bought in and picked our site. The unique nature of living here is that the members here all volunteer to help keep cost down to run the park. This gave us a sense of ownership and community. We volunteer 3 days per week for approximately 4 hours per day and join in on special events to help set up or organize events that are for the members. It's not like having a job but more like going to hang out with folks that have the same interests. There is constantly an event going on weather you like to play cards, pool, dominoes, darts, working out , or outdoor activities like pickle ball or mini golf the fun is endless. This amazing place has beautiful views of the Sierra foothills and there's even a casino across the mountain. Becoming a member here has given us a place to call home in between our travels and our site remains ours when we're in the park. If you're thinking of becoming a full timer or if you're looking for a great place to glamp, this is the place!

We love to bring our kids here to explore, ride bikes & feed the ducks & geese (we bought a 50lb bag of cracked corn from Tractor Supply for like $18 & keep it in the back of our van.) They are super friendly & will eat out of our kids hands. We accidentally came here yesterday during the Water Lantern Festival & it was insane how many people & food trucks were there. *Tip If you plan on coming for than a few time during the year but the annual parking pass from the electronic kiosks around the park for $50 (it's good for parking at all city parks & The Fresno Zoo as well but it's only good for one cars license plate.
