Many may not know this but Medina Lake has 2 dams.

About 20 years ago I was at the Paradise Canyon park doing some que and beer with a group of friends, we climbed up the side of the dam.

To my shock I looked down into the clear green water and saw huge school of bass. Big ones.

Then some dickhead on a boat comes up and tells us "Hey you punks your tresspassing". So we left.

Anyway I have been researching and it seems once your on the water they can't stop you. So I am gonna try in one of those fishing innertubes.

The hard part is how to infiltrate into the lake without tresspassing.

Here is a site with more research info. Whoever wants to do some recon hehe or whatever.

Unless you are a guest there the only way in is to have someone drop you off and jump off the bridge at the low water crossing between Diversion and Medina. You can't park there. The fishing in there is OK...I caught a 10 lb. striper hybrid there once, but the good fishing is a long way from the bridge where you would have to get in.

There is a 2 foot hole you can get into. According to that site..

I am gonna go recon it in a few dayz. Yea lack of parking sucks but I got a plan for that.

You know, I've heard of this funky diversion lake called Medina.

It's not one lake. There is a Dam dividing the 2. It's a seperate dam and body of water.

Either that or that was one really bad joke.


Looking straight down off the backside of the dam at the Medina River. Water released from behind the dam flows for a short distance and is impounded again in Diversion Lake, shown below.

It was a bad song actually, but I thought it was pretty funny.
