Summer Wildlife Cruise September 9, 2011

Let our Park Naturalists guide you on a 2-hour Lake Cruise aboard the Osprey. A 30-passenger pontoon boat for easy wildlife viewing and personal comfort, the Osprey explores the Lake as Naturalists follow nature's serendipity to reveal the area's natural and cultural riches. In all seasons, Cachuma Lake is a thriving habitat for a great variety of wildlife, birds, fish, trees, and plants. In spring and summer, wildflowers spangle the hills, resident birds can be seen displaying and building nests, and fawns appear with does. Pontoon boats are among the gentlest and safest water vessels. All 30 seats are padded, and wildlife viewing is easy from any seat. There are viewing platforms at the front and rear of the boat. Most of the seats are shaded. Cruise Reservations: In person at the main gate, or (805) 686-5050 Weekdays 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM; (805) 686-5055 After 3:00 PM on Fridays and Weekends.
