Kayaking on Lake Mission Viejo

 

 

Kayaking On Lake Mission Viejo

I love living in Mission Viejo!! I love sharing this great community with home buyers. Mission Viejo has many attractive features. As the original planned community, all our neighborhoods are situated around local parks, there are wonderful community centers for all ages, highly rated Blue Ribbon Schools and of course....lots of sports parks and clubs. But one of the main advantages of living in Mission Viejo is our Lake.

Lake Mission Viejo is a man made body of water built for the private use of Mission Viejo residents and their guests. The benefits are too many to mention and highlights include:

* Two private beaches with lifeguards and roped off swimming areas
* Summer concerts on the water
* Recreational camps and programs for children
* Own or rent boats, kayaks and paddle boards
* 4th of July Fireworks

The list goes on....and the best part? $222/year, not per month....per YEAR!!!

I love writing about Lake Mission Viejo! I raised my 5 children on it's beaches. We barbecued on weekend evenings. I spent hours watching the kids play with friends after school. It even has large banquet facilities available to rent for big parties...hmmmm, sounds like a good idea.

But today....I had some extra time to take out a kayak and paddle around the lake for an hour. At only $3/hour, it's a nice way to spend the afternoon. I thought rather than TELL you so much about Lake Mission Viejo, I'd show you. Good thing my pedicure held up.

Richard: no I haven't tried the paddle boards yet..my friend likes them, though. And I think I'll pass on the pix in my swimsuit. :)

Kathy: It's an amazing deal...I'd easily spend $222/month, but the fact that it's a year? Crazy

Karen, your Lake Mission Viejo sounds like a great community to live in, With those crossed legs there may have been more floating than actual paddling, however

That sounds like a very nice way to spend the afternoon.  The view of the beach and mountains from your kayak is really beautiful!  And, even your toes look happy too :)

Barbara: You are so sweet....thank you. <3

Tammy: It's just a wonderful place. Yesterday I found a little extra time, drove to the docks and headed out. A nice young man brought the kayak to the water and handed me a paddle. Just a great place to live

Karen -- what a great way to point out the benefits of living in your area!  Of course, those of us in the north are envious of your being able to relax like that on such beautiful (and warm) day.
