Lake Poway
About 4 miles from where I live, is Lake Poway ( pronouced pow-wee ). I have lived in my current home for over 15 years and yesteray late day was the first time I have ever visited there. It actually surprised me at how beautiful it was there. It is a small lake on a large parcel of land tucked away in an area of large and estate homes, none of which can actually be seen while at the lake.
Interestingly, I have listed and sold homes in the area of Old Town Poway which are more modest homes in the $600,000 and $700,000 price range. I love the old town area as it is just magical in it's interpretation of an old western town with an old railroad, restored and preserved buildings and just a wonderful park like atmosphere.
I met a gentleman that works on the pedal boat rental pier and he answered all of my many questions as it became apparent he knew so much about it. The first fact I learned while asking if there was a swimming area. No swimming here, it is the source for all the water used in the City of Poway. In fact no human skin contact is allowed.
After I photo captured a few of the more intersting views and features there, I observed a large banner that advised about the Summer Concert series that starts tomorrow, Jun 28th at 5:30 PM. I am free in the late day tomorrow and I expect I may return and check this out.
In the mean time, I will do some research on Lake Poway and write a post describing how it came to be and more details and photos about it. Here is a photo I took of one of the more unusual ducks that occupy the lake, along with the stocked lake of bass and catfish.
This duck has a fluffy feathered crown and I can't remember ever having seen one before. I think it is a female as she seemed to have a boyfriend or husband?? that also had a smaller crown that looked like a big knob and was a distinct black and white color.
