🎼🛶 Music at the Lake kicks off with a special concert by Virginia James Music!
Join us Friday, June 5th from 6–8 PM for an evening featuring Virginia James Music. This is the kind of music that keeps a Lakeshore concert interesting: violin lines over guitar and bass, layered with vocals that shift from smooth to energetic! Their wide-ranging setlist includes classical, jazz, Latin, R&B, and more. Bring a chair or blanket, invite a neighbor, and enjoy a relaxed night by the water!

🚧SAMLARC On Site: Floating Islands Replacements
Several floating islands in the Lago Santa Margarita are being replaced with 16 new islands. Crews are taking out the old islands as of May 29th. The islands are an important part of SAMLARC's water quality management program as well as providing fish with places to grow. The crew is aiming to be back on Monday to begin the installation of new islands. Thank you for your patience as we complete this important Lake maintenance project!
