Owned by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lake Solano has been administered as a recreational area by the County of Solano since 1971. The County operates a campground with 83 campsites, of which 36 have water and electric hookups. There are restrooms which have flush toilets, sinks and hot showers.

The day use area has picnic sites, group picnic facilities, a free boat launch for non-powered vessels, parking, restrooms and a public telephone. The picnic area is located directly east of the campground.

The lake is considered one of the best fly fishing spots in the Sacramento Valley; popular game fish in Lake Solano include Brown and Rainbow Trout.
