Lake Lagunita

[2][3] During winters with normal rainfall, the lake used to be filled by diversion from San Francisquito Creek to a three-meter depth along with artificial water level maintenance, allowing recreational use by students.

[7] As the lake is no longer permanently filled, it serves as a drainage basin and contains vernal pools throughout the winter and spring months.

[citation needed] The lake provides a site for recreation, and functions as a holding basin for flood control.

[2] Adjacent to the lake is a 0.9-mile (1.4 km) perimeter trail, which is open for jogging or walking.

[9] Many dormitory residences, row houses, and several fraternities are located near the lake, including the Lagunita residences, Roble Hall, Enchanted Broccoli Forest (EBF), Narnia, Kappa Alpha Order, and Jerry.

The lake serves as a basin in the winter and spring, filling to a maximum depth of approximately three feet. The majority of the remaining area is pocketed with smaller vernal pools and temporary wetlands.
