Lake Day Atlas

Across the hills from Napa Valley, Lake Berryessa offers several public day-use areas on its western shore. Oak Shores is an easy place to build a day around a picnic and a view of the open reservoir.

Plan your lake day

Use the Bureau of Reclamation’s day-use list to compare Oak Shores with nearby Smittle Creek. Choose your parking area for the shoreline you want rather than following a general map pin for the lake.
