Lake Skinner Construction

[makersmark]

my company is submitting a bid soon for the Lake Skinner construction project, thought I would let anyone who fishes this lake regularly know that from 7/9/09 to 3/11/10 there is going to be some major construction going on at the lake, they are working on parking lots, roads, trails, underground water, electric and sewer lines ect. and a few other amenities. Just a heads up to the regulars and vacation planners.

As far as I know the lake shouldn't be touched during construction, its more upgrading the parking lots, roads, trails and underground electrical, sewer and water lines as well as some other amenities. I am not sure if the lake usage will be interrupted during the construction, there was no mention of that. I would imagine that they will keep the lake open, but may close down some/all campsites but I am not 100% sure, as soon as I hear more I will let you guys know. I wouldn't be planning a camping trip there this summer though.

a little more info,

this project is ran by the Riverside County Regional Park & Open-Space District, and is being funded through Development Impact Fees.

The project will include the following new features: A splash pad, an outdoor amphitheater, parking lots, roads, and multi-purpose trails. The new roads and walking paths will tie the existing paths to the new features. New underground electrical, domestic water and sewer lines will be installed for new park features. New irrigation lines will be provided throughout the areas of improvement and will be connected to the irrigation system. The duration of the construction contract will be 8 months 3 weeks.

Hope that clears up the water district confusion. Tight lines.

Thanks for the Skinner updates - please keep them coming, since most of us with boats will be fishing more at Skinner because of the DVL mess.
