Lake Piru is the place to be this spring, with a full lake and green hillsides. With plenty of amenities, fishing, and summer swimming areas, the lake promises something for everyone this season. The lake has new marina boat docking facilities, repaved parking areas and roadways, including the full six-mile drive up Piru Canyon Road, and a renovated boat rental fleet, now with even more boats available for rent. The lake offers a new state-of-the-art drinking water system.

The renovation and remodel of the snack bar and camp store are underway and new restroom facilities will be coming to the Oak Lane Campground area soon. During the summer season there will be a larger and more attractive swim beach for the entire family to enjoy. A list of events, which will be available in mid- April, is expected to include a Spring Slam Fishing, family camping weekends, a Father’s Day event and a Summer BBQ Day. Visit the Lake Piru website at www.lake-piru.org to see a campsite list of events. For more information call Lake Piru at (805) 521-1500.
