By Carl KolchakFishing with your kids should be

a fun family experience, but it often can turn into a tedious chore. Tangled lines, a lack of action, and the sug-gestion of going fishing with your kids can turn from excited looks into bored faces in a hurry. Trying to keep up, especially if you have more than two children, can run a parent ragged, as he or she tries to make sure lines are in the water and everybody is hav-ing a good time. Here are some tips to make sure that fishing with your kids is a worthwhile and enjoyable adventure.

First and foremost, you need to catch fish. Nothing creates the poten-tial for boredom more than a fishing pole that just sits there with no fish biting! Pretty soon the children are wondering why they are there to begin with and fishing with your kids goes from a great idea to a very bad one in a matter of a few minutes. There are many things you can do to increase your odds of catching fish, giving the kids the excitement that will keep their interest.

Go fishing with the kids in the early morning or late afternoon; these are the peak times for most species of fish to bite. During the summer, after supper is the optimal time to gather the equipment and head to the local fishing spot. If the kids are too young to bait their own hooks and cast out, you need to forget about doing any fishing yourself and concentrate on their needs. It’s no fun for a kid to stand around and watch you fish.

Proper equipment is crucial to suc-cess when fishing with your kids. Do not bother with those “kiddie” poles that cannot stand up to the rigors of actual fishing. An inexpensive spin-ning reel and rod will do the trick; you aren’t going after world records, you simply want to catch fish. A spinning reel is the easiest type for a youngster to learn to cast with. If they are old enough to cast, make sure you put them in a spot way from trees and brush that will snag your child’s line and hook. Find an open area along the river bank or shore of the pond. Nothing is more frustrating while fish-ing than having to break your line, tie another hook on, rebait it and cast again, only to get caught up in the same branch or log!

If you are fishing with your kids at a small pond, there are two species of fish that you can usually target- bullheads and pumpkinseeds. All you need for bait are night crawlers, which

you can catch yourself on any damp spring or early summer evening. Get the children involved in this, by letting them go out and catch them for them-selves. All they need is a flashlight and a bit of coaching. Catching the worms will be almost as much fun as catching the fish. If you need to buy your bait, many convenience stores actually sell worms during the fishing season. Night crawlers can be kept in a container in your refrigerator for weeks; only be sure that everyone knows what is in that container to avoid unwanted surprises.

Once you are at the pond, space the kids out so they will have their own areas to fish and avoid tangling their lines. You do not need to use floats or bobs. Have a number four snelled hook tied to the line with a pair of split shots secured about eighteen inches up from the hook. A snelled hook is a hook that comes already attached to a short piece of monofilament with a loop tied at the end. You can tie it right to your line; the number of the hook, in this case a number four, is an indicator of the hook’s size. The split shot will give you or your child added weight on the line, allowing the line to be cast further.

Hook the night crawler on and cast out. Place a forked stick into the ground and lean the pole against it. When the fish bite, your child will see the line start to move. It will either begin to go out as the fish runs with the bait or there will be a distinct jerking motion that your child can

easily detect as the end of the rod as it snaps back and forth. Now is when you have your child pick up the rod and try to set the hook. Teach them not to simply reel the line in, but to give the line a good, quick yank in an attempt to hook the fish. They will be able to tell in an instant if the fish is on by the tension and feel of the line. Have them reel in, but not too fast, always being sure not to let the line go slack. Pumpkinseeds, a com-mon pond dweller, are small in size, but their streamlined shape allows them to put up a great fight for their stature. They will zigzag to and fro in the water until your child can land them. They have sharp spines on their back fins that need to be avoided. It is important for your child to learn how to properly handle a fish once it has been caught, so as to be able to release it unharmed. Show your child how to hold the fish and remove the hook, teaching them not to be afraid of do-ing this. Until your child is old enough to handle this alone, you will be doing the removing, as well as putting on the worm and casting out.

Bullhead will bite one right after another on a good day, and they can keep you running from child to child as they land them or lose them. Let your child either catch the fish or be re-sponsible for it getting away, as this will help them learn what they did right or wrong. They will get a feel for when the fish are biting, when to set the hook, and how fast to reel in. Eventually, they will be able to hold the pole and

know when the fish are biting, without having to lean it against the stick. If you are going to be fishing with your kids at a river, add more split shots so you can cast out further. Rivers are more unpredictable in that there are many more species of fish that can be caught; trout, bass, white and yellow perch, suckers, pumpkinseed, and carp are commonly caught on night crawlers here in the Northeast. The potential is there for your kid to hook some decent sized fish; avoid the temptation to jump in and land the “big one”.

Fishing with your kids at a river can be made even more fun by assigning each species of fish a point value. The more desirable the fish, such as a bass or trout, the higher number it is assigned. Have your kids keep track of how many points they have accumu-lated, with some sort of reward or prize going to the winner. Teach them to be sure to leave the pond shore or river-bank the way they found it, litter and garbage free. If the fish are not biting, a pair of binoculars can come in handy as there is bound to be something of interest around the water, whether it’s a kingfisher, a mallard, or a muskrat.

Fishing with your kids can be great fun, enhanced by their learning to appreciate the outdoors and actually catching fish. Put yourself and your children in a situation where they have the best chance to succeed, and you and they will look forward to spending this time together long after they have grown up!

12-year-old artist and Lade-ra Ranch resident, Madison Bolokowicz, will be the special guest at the Ladera Ranch Li-brary’s storytime on Wednes-day, August 1 at 10:30 a.m. Madison’s artwork was se-lected from a worldwide Kids Art Contest as one of thirteen illustrations featured in a new children’s book, “Guess What is on Grandpa’s Farm?” by southern California author, Nancy O’Neill. Written in clev-er rhyming clues, each book in the series provides a fun guessing game and learning experience for young children. The second book, “Guess What is at the North Pole?” is scheduled for release in October. The Kids Art Contest for that book is open for submissions now and is a great opportunity for kids ages 5-17 who are aspiring artists or who just love to be creative.

“I simply LOVE art!” Madison has been taking art classes since she was in preschool. She has been working on an art portfolio with her current art teacher and aspires to go to an art high school! One day she

hopes to have a career utilizing her talent and love of the arts.

She also enjoys playing tennis, playing the violin, volunteering for many organizations and recently started doing karate.

This is a fun community event which is not only inspiring for kids of all ages but also highlights a very talented, young, local artist. We hope that the paper is able to send someone to cover the event and/or schedule an interview with the artist and author.

Local Dentist Michael TessierReveals Affordable Ways of

Paying for Dental CareI think we all grew up thinking that medical or dental in-surance was there for our benefi t, like they were taking care of us. However, insurance is a product to make

stockholders money. Although there’s nothing wrong with people wanting to make money in the market, that’s the main focus of that industry, not taking care of us (the insured). Even before the current attempt by the federal government to force us into govern-ment-run socialized medicine (run by the same people who operate Medicare, social security, and the post-offi ce), all of us had become aware of the truth about insurance, as “covered benefi ts” decreased and “co-pays” increased.So, it is a real pleasant surprise for me to be able to report that Delta Dental of Illinois has announced their Enhanced Benefi ts Program offering “enhanced benefi ts for those with high-risk medical conditions”. Systemic diseases like diabetes, preg-nancy, cardio-vascular conditions, renal disorders, cancer-related chemo- or radiation therapy, or suppressed immune systems have correlations with oral conditions. Delta/Illinois is now taking these conditions into account, and paying more liberally for dental care than they used to.Pat and Donna at my front desk have between them fi fty-plus years in the dental fi eld, and will be able to answer any questions you might have. Please don’t hesitate to call them. When you call, please be sure to ask them about “Care Credit”, a credit card offering up to twelve months of interest-free credit on dental work. I like this because there are no premiums involved that have to be paid on a monthly basis, whether any dental work is required or not.Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway.

“The fish and I were both stunned and disbelieving to find ourselves connected by a line.”

–Mark Twain

By Sylvia CochranA California vacation

would be incomplete with-out a few deep-sea fishing trips. If you are following in the footsteps of your f ishing buddies, there are at least three facts they forgot to tell you. What should you know about Southern California deep-sea charters before setting foot on deck?

Deep-Sea Fishing Trips Follow Peak Seasons

As noted by Sportfish San Diego, deep-sea charters usually target fish species by follow-ing a calendar denot-ing seasonal peaks. For example, if you have your heart set on yellowfin tuna, schedule your California vacation between the months of July and October. Conversely, if big eye tuna is your game, then August and September are the months that charter boat operators predict greatest suc-cess.

Deep-sea Fishing in Southern California Is Regulated

The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) provides up-to-date information on open, closed, and partially closed fisher-ies. Check the listing frequently, as ocean conditions or dips in the fish populations may lead to early fishery closures. Moreover, fish-ing for some species from shore is governed by rules that greatly differentiate from regulations ap-plying to deep-sea charters. Case in point are rockfish, which may be caught by divers and shore

anglers year-round, but may only be caught by boat anglers between March 1 and December 31. The changing rules, bag limits, tackle restrictions, and depth constraints are the reasons why tourists going on deep-sea fishing trips prefer to use the services of deep-sea charters.

Not All Deep-sea Charters Oper-ate and Cost the Same

- Newport Landing (309 Palm St. #A in Balboa, CA 92661; 949-675-0550) will charge you extra if the cost of marine diesel goes above the $4 per gallon mark. Rod rentals start at $12.50, and a half-day deep-sea fishing charter costs $41.50 for anyone 13 and older; the cost is $34 for anyone 12 and under.

- Davey’s Locker (400 Main St. in Newport Beach, CA 92661; 949-673-1434) offers an adult package price for half-day charters, which includes not only the $46.50 ticket

price, but also a rod rental, one-day fishing license, and tackle. The company charges extra for onboard fish cleaning.

- Marina del Rey Sportfishing (Dock 52 Fiji Way in Marina del Rey, CA 90292; 310-822-3625) specializes in twilight charters. These deep-sea fishing trips last from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and cost $39 for each adult. In this case, adult pricing also applies to youngsters 12 and older. Those under the age of 12 pay $25.

- Dana Wharf (34675 Golden Lantern in Dana Point, CA 92629; 949-496-5794) offers a special deal for Tuesday anglers: 50 percent off ticket prices. Good on half-day and three-quarter-day trips, this year-round promotion makes it affordable to go deep-sea fishing if $44 or $59 respectively for an adult ticket is a bit steep. Youngsters over the age of 14 pay the adult ticket cost.

Lisa Curcio, Surgical Oncologist of Mission Viejo has been chosen as honoree for the inaugural Illumination of Hope event to be held at The Strand at Headlands Private Beach Club on Saturday August 11. Dr. Curcio is south Orange County’s only female surgical oncologist who has devoted her life’s work to the education, prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

“Once a person has cancer, they are motivated to make life changes” said Curcio. “It takes a village for cancer care, we need those of us work-ing in the trenches and organizations like American Cancer Society to continue to raise awareness, education, and the philanthropic support of our community to provide the means for these advancements,” she added.

The funds raised at this year’s event will benefit the American Cancer Society Orange County Region. Tickets are $125 per person and can be purchased at gala.acsevents.org/illumination. For more information about the event, contact Michelle Rodriguez at [email protected] or call 949.567.0612.

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreak-ing discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345.

Construction crews will close the southbound connectors of the San Gabriel River Freeway (I-605) and San Diego Freeway (I-405) begin-ning at 10 p.m. next Monday, July 30 as part of the West County Con-nectors project.

The two-week closure is required for crews to reconstruct the connec-tor to accommodate the new I-405 / I-605 HOV connector and additional lanes on the I-405.

Work includes installing new pave-ment, realigning the lanes and laying the groundwork for new overhead signage and lights.

Construction crews are placing detour signs to help drivers during the closure. The project team rec-ommends drivers take the following routes:

From the southbound I-605, exit Spring Street. Continue on Spring Street to Woodruff Avenue and proceed to the southbound I-405 on-ramp

From the southbound I-605, exit Spring Street. Continue on Spring Street to Studebaker Road and proceed so the eastbound

SR-22 on-ramp. Take the eastbound SR-22 connector to the southbound I-405

From the south-bound I -605 , ex i t Katella Avenue and proceed east. Turn right on Los Alami-tos Boulevard/Seal Beach Boulevard and proceed south to the southbound I-405 on-ramp

From the south-bound I-605, take the westbound SR-22 con-nector toward Long Beach. Exit Studebak-er Road and proceed south to the eastbound SR-22 on-ramp. Proceed eastbound on the Sr-22 until the freeway transi-tions to the southbound I-405

Originally scheduled for late 2012, the project team moved up the work on its construction timeline to begin this construction activity prior to the start of the Seal Beach Boulevard bridge reconstruction.

Also, beginning Wednesday, July 25, crews will close the southbound I-405 freeway from Valley View Street to Seal Beach Boulevard for two to three weeks. The closure will take place from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights.

The $277-million West County Connectors project will improve traffic flow by directly connecting

carpool lanes on I-405, I-605 and SR-22. In addition, a second carpool lane will be constructed on I-405 between SR-22 and I-605.

For a map and detailed detour information, please visit the West County Connectors project website. For additional information, contact Sarah Swensson at (714) 560-5376 or email at [email protected].

Fashion show proMotes heart health with

guard a heartThe Clubhouse at The Strand in Dana Point which sits overlooking the beautiful

Pacific Ocean was the perfect setting for Guard A Heart’s 1st Annual Fashion Show, raising more than $25,000 for the non-profit’s support of “Know Your Risk, Save a Life” campaign. The evening was filled with beautiful fashions, delicious food and awards were given to those in the community who have embraced their cause.

With a crescent shaped moon hovering over drifting clouds, the mild weather made way for a tropical mood. The evening started off with guests arriving by limousines – they were shuttled to the event from the beach parking area. Arriving to the clubhouse they were greeted by a red carpet affair complete with a step and repeat wall and throngs of paparazzi waiting to take their photos. Entering the 4 level architectural masterpiece, guests were surrounded with tropical foliage and colorful floral sprays.

Around 150 guests enjoyed the evening’s festivities which included live music by Hope and Hawaiian Artist Brian Pi’ikea Vasquez. Tasty drinks were donated by Tommy Bahama, Blue Ice Vodka, and Vegan Wine and mouthwatering appetizers donated by K’ya, Vintage Steakhouse, Stillwater Grill, Gemmells and Socially Sweet.

The program started with USMC Color Guards Timothy Black, Angelo Sarni, Andrew Grothem and Cress Forester escorting Ms. America 2012 Nicole Rash who sang a lovely rendition of the National Anthem. The fashion show then started and featured the latest designs by Tommy Bahama Fashions, Marisa Kenson and Dr. Bahar Couture. Along with the group of models, Nicole Rash, Willie Gault and Vida Samadzai, actress and former Ms. Afghanistan strutted around the pool area in sophisticated panache modeling the fashion designs. The fashion show was under the direction by highly regarded fashion show producer Julie French.

Several VIPs were awarded the Guardian of Hearts award for their philanthropic efforts on heart disease awareness and prevention. Dr. Bahar Sederati, lead internist with Bahar Medical Group; Dr. Douglas Harrington, CEO of Aviir Diagnostics; Susan Jeske, CEO of the Ms. America Pageant; Willie Gault, Founder of Athletes for Life, former America football wide receiver and Olympic athlete; and Lora Thomas, of Kyani were included in those honored. Members of the Guard A Heart Board of Directors including Hayward Sawyer, Jerry Nostadt, Tom Scuccimarra and Najib Khoury were in attendance and presented the evening’s awards.

Other guests who attended included: Annie Nelson, founder of OC American Sol-diers Network; Michele Berk, producer of Baywatch, creator, Soul Surfer, K-11; Debbie Durkin, Los Angeles Sustainable Producer; Janeane Bernstein Event MC and Radio Talk Show Host; and Damian Collins, entrepreneur.

One hundred percent of proceeds from the event will go towards Guard a Heart’s “Know Your Risk, Save a Life” campaign, which uses donated funds to offer free cardiac testing for those who cannot otherwise afford it. Its mission to save lives is only made possible by countless volunteers within the community raising awareness of this highly preventable disease.

Guard A Heart is a non-profit foundation dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease prevention by spreading the word to guard your heart and save your life. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. If individuals know their risk and take the necessary steps, the good news is that most cardiovascular disease is preventable. Although heart disease is typically diagnosed in adulthood, its roots are often found in childhood. Compelling research has shown that plaque buildup in the arterial walls begins very early in life and progresses through increasing degrees of atherosclerosis. Intervention strategies and healthy lifestyle changes to reduce heart disease risk should begin in childhood when reversal of the process is easier, not later in life when the disease is more fully developed. Guard a Heart Foundation provides funding for individuals who are unable to pay for cardiac risk assessments. Please visit www.guardaheart.org for more information

If you were to visit the park on Saturday, July 21st, you would know it was not a typical day. You might even wonder whether these families were even California residents. The pioneer bonnets, aprons, cowboy hats and handkerchiefs looked out of place, especially in the July heat.

The heat at Altisima Park in Rancho Santa Margarita didn’t seem to keep 500 people from attending the free Pioneer Celebration sponsored by the Santa Margarita Stake from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The celebration schedule included pioneer type games, a simple dinner, a mini-trek with covered wagons, and even two messy pie eating contests.

If you were to follow the cheering you might see the three-legged race, the water balloon toss or jump the line in action. Pat Brokaw, Santa Margarita Stake Young Men General President, explained, “It was hot but that didn’t seem to faze the children at all. By the time we had the 500 water balloons ready the adults were so ready to join the games. I think when the water balloons broke it was a welcome relief from the heat.”

After dinner and games, the mini-trek began. Margie Dayley, Santa Margarita Trek Chairman, was asked to plan and orchestrate the trek. Dayley explained, “I wanted every child in the trek to have a bonnet or handkerchief, so I found ten teenagers and a handful of willing adults to help me sew 130 bonnets at the begin-ning of July.” Every child walking did wear a bonnet or handkerchief while pulling homemade red “covered wagons” to walk the short distance to the playground.

The handcart trek was re-enacted to remind the children of the sacrifices that led up to the pioneers entering the Salt Lake Utah Valley on July 24, 1947. In 1947, after years of persecution, the Mormon pioneers would finally have a place of their own where they could live and practice their religion in peace. To this day, Pioneer Day is a Utah state holiday.

Pioneer Day Celebration is to commemorate the Mormon pioneers passage into Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Fleeing persecution, Mormons saw Utah as a haven where they could rear families and practice their religion. July 24th, Pioneer Day, is an official Utah state holiday. The first Pioneer Day celebration was held in 1857.

This year’s celebration was held on July 21st, 4-6pm in Altisima Park, Rancho Santa Margarita, California.

On Monday, July 23, the Philhar-monic Society of Orange County announced an unaudited surplus of $15,810 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. Reports show total revenues of $4,186,337 and total expenses of $4,170,527. The figures were released at the organization’s annual meeting, which took place at Soka Performing Arts Center.

Officers for the 2012-13 season were elected at the board meeting immediately following: Sabra Bor-das, Chairman; Douglas H. Smith, Immediate Past Chairman; and Noel Hamilton, Secretary/Treasurer. New board members include international banker Anthony Mastrangelo. The Committees board members include Toni Sobel, President; Karen Wolff, Past President; and Sandi Campbell, President-Elect.

The annual meeting also featured a performance by the Philharmonic Society’s Musical Concierge, Dr. Randy Polevoi, who received his Doctorate in Musical Arts from the

University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Dr. Polevoi performed Schubert’s Impromptu Op. 90, No. 3 in G-flat major; Ravel’s Jeux d’eau; and Gershwin’s “Swanee,” as well as two pieces by Chopin: Nocturne in D-flat major, Op. 27, No. 2, and Prelude Op. 28, No. 16 in B-flat minor.

The Society’s 2011-12 season included an unforgettable perfor-mance by violinist Joshua Bell leading the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the Orange County debut of acclaimed tenor Charles Castronovo, pianist Marino For-menti performing the complete set of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, as well as performances by an ex-traordinary roster of major American orchestras, such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with music director Riccardo Muti, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with trailblaz-ing female music director Marin Alsop, the Cleveland Orchestra with music director Franz Welser-Möst, guitar virtuoso Pepe Romero and the

Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic with music director Alan Gilbert.

The 2011-12 season also marked the 120th anniversary of the opening of Carnegie Hall and the 25th an-niversary of Segerstrom Center for the Arts. In honor of its partnership with Carnegie Hall, the Philharmonic Society paid tribute to its East Coast partner throughout the season. Presented at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, this West Coast salute to Carnegie Hall’s 120th anniversary festivities featured select program-ming from when New York City’s cultural gem—Carnegie Hall—first opened its doors in 1891 with Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky on its stage. As part of this celebration, the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra led by conductor and music director Valery Gergiev performed four of Tchaikovsky’s beloved symphonies.

The Society looks forward to the upcoming 2012-13 season. The season highlights include recitals by

world-renowned soloists cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman and pianist Louis Lortie. Returning to the Orange County scene are Gustavo Dudamel with the Los Angeles Phil-harmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Other highlights include renowned Beethoven interpreter Sir John El-iot Gardiner leading his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique and Monteverdi Choir with two blazing performances of Beethoven’s late masterpieces—the Ninth Sym-phony and the Missa Solemnis—the second of which will be heard in Orange County for the first time on period instruments, as well as the Grammy Award-winning Parker Quartet and the St. Lawrence String Quartet performing the first and last of Beethoven’s late string quartets, respectively. The Donna L. Kendall Classical Series will continue for its fourth season.

Lake Mission Viejo, first open to residents in 1977, has come a long way since its original beginnings. While private, the Lake is not exclu-sive, and is accessible to residents of Mission Viejo and their guests. Built by the Mission Viejo Company, this man-made lake has been a model of family recreation for 35 years.

Over the years, the services the Lake provides to its members have evolved with the changing commu-nity. The boat rentals, which have always been a big draw, with pontoon party boats, sail boats and kayaks, now include stand-up paddle boards. Members may also launch their own boats into the waters of LMV, but must first pass a safety inspection as well

as be cleared for the presence of Quagga mussels, an invasive aquatic organism that have been on the rise in Southern California.

Maintaining the pristine waters is a priority at the Lake. The biology department monitors water quality on a daily basis, and lifeguards enforce regulations on the beaches and by boat to ensure it stays that way. For example, children must wear water-proof diaper covers and only electric motors are allowed on boats.

All of this is good news for swim-mers as well as anglers. Lake Mis-sion Viejo is a virtual paradise for anyone looking to hook a trout or bass, which are both stocked several times per year. In 2006, a 19 lb. 12 oz. bass was caught, which at the time was the state record and the 13th largest on record nationally accord-

ing to an article in the OC Register. In addition to all the fun in, and on the water, Lake Mission Viejo provides city residents with world-class events and entertainment.

The Summer Concert series is a huge draw for Mission Viejo residents for over 20 years, and continues to grow. World class acts have graced the Lake’s stage, including artists such as Tom Jones, Pat Benatar and Kenny Loggins, to name a very few, and the addition of the Rock Under the Radar series gives members a chance to see underground bands on their way up the Billboard charts. For a more mellow concert-going experience, members can also spend a Sunday afternoon with the Saddle-back Symphony each spring or enjoy Jazzfest in tandem with A Taste of the Lake at the end of summer.

Holiday’s bring a special spirit to Lake Mission Viejo as well. The Lake Eeerie Graveyard and Pumpkin Patch have been drawing more and more attention each year, and with the ad-dition of a sledding hill with real snow at Christmastime, Santa’s Arrival is merrier than ever.

While the Lake provides numer-ous activities, there are also facilities in place for members to host their own events. With newly improved facilities, the Lake has become the backdrop for weddings and other special occasions.

From humble beginnings, the Lake has evolved into a premiere example of community recreation and contin-ues to adapt to provide fun, family friendly recreation for the residents of Mission Viejo.
