There is much to do in the Mission Trails Regional Park. This park actually stretches from Lake Murray in La Mesa into Santee. Mission Trails has just as much fun stuff to do and explore as Balboa Park, and Mission Bay Park. There is fishing on the weekends at Lake Murray, where you can also rent a kayak, paddle boat or just take a walk around the 3 mile road surrounding the lake. Mission Trails Regional Park is one of the largest urban parks in the US. There are tours offered from the very nice up to date visitor and meeting center. To the east you will find the old padre dam with many hiking trails leading you into the hills. This land that was once used by the Kumeyaay is open for camping where you can set up tent for the night park an RV.
