Lake Fulmor is on National Forest land. The lake provides day use activities for the public.

This is the only location in the whole state of California, where you can drive and camp on the beach. Four wheel drive and all other off road vehicles are welcome on the beach and on the dunes.
With the Pacific Ocean right there, you can also enjoy virtually any kind of beach recreation. While you can complete the entire route in as little as an hour and a half, this is a trail that is best enjoyed at a slow pace. The 3N16 is a pretty low-key trail that connects directly to the main road and takes travelers through some of the remote backwoods of San Bernardino National Forest.
This historic route offers up some spectacular views and has plenty of solid stop off trails, including Holcomb Creek, Dishpan Springs, John Bull, White Mountain, and Gold Mountain, just to name a few.
For instance, during rainy seasons, you can find yourself forging through some pretty deep water crossings, and during the winter months, the trail can be covered with snow, measuring as high as five feet. While quite a drive out from Costa Mesa, Southern California is most known in the off-roading world for the vast stretches of desert out east, and more importantly, Joshua Tree National Park.
As one of the largest National Parks in the United States, Joshua Tree is a sprawling desert that is, of course, filled with plenty of routes to enjoy; one such trail is Old Dale Road.
Old Dale Road actually starts in the Sonoran Desert, which is incredibly hot and dry. The trail ends at the edge of the Mojave desert, making it a journey that will take you across many different desert landscapes. Old Dale Road is not so simple to complete, however, as it includes steep inclines up the Pinto Mountains along narrow pathways. While you can complete the entire route in as little as three-hours, we suggest that you embark on a multi-day trip along the route.
There are just so many sites to see along the way, including the sprawling ruins of the Old Dale Mining District, and the wide variety of desert trails laden with Joshua trees.
