Westlake Lake in Westlake Village
Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 11:41PM Westlake Lake is a 125 acre lake with 8 miles of shoreline in Westlake Village. Over 1,300 homes are located on the lake or are within access of it. It is a man-made lake that was completed in 1969 at a cost of $3.5 million. A number of homes are located on an island in the lake that is connected by La Venta ("The Bridge") Road.
While Westlake Lake is a private lake maintained for Westlake Village residents by the Westlake Lake Management Association, you can still enjoy its beauty in many ways. Running, cycling and walking around the lake via Triunfo Canyon and other adjacent streets is quite popular. Or visit The Landing (32129 Lindero Canyon) on the southwest side of the lake to enjoy a meal at one of several lakefront restaurants (such as Boccacio's and Zin Bistro Americana). Or just stroll around, taking in the sweeping view and serenity. It really is beautiful.
The lake is stocked with bass but fishing is restricted to Westlake Village residents with guests and permits. So if you don't live there, start making some WLV friends. This also applies to boating on the lake.
