Welcome to Poway

Residents of Poway enjoy their outdoor space, like, a lot. A popular hiking destination spot is to the Potato Chip Rock, a very thin boulder overlooking the picturesque Blue Sky Canyon. Lake Poway is another area for outdoor recreation. Locals make their way to the lake to enjoy boating, swimming, and fishing.

Old Poway Park is a family-friendly attraction. Residents enjoy a ride around the park on the Poway-Midland Railroad.
