Machado Lake (Ken Malloy Harbor Park)

Machado Lake at Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park is a restored wetland lake in Harbor City. The City of Los Angeles posts fishing as catch-and-release only, with a valid license. Boats and swimming are prohibited. This is a panfish and carp water you do not keep — a different contract from a planted trout lake. Read the city posting at the lake, not just CDFW bag tables.

Regulations reminder

Size limits, bag limits, seasons, and MPA rules are set by CDFW and can change in-season. Public-pier license exceptions (CCR 1.88) apply only on qualifying structures — not on the beach next to them. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with CDFW.
