Miscellaneous

A majority of the homes within the City are located within the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association (POA), which is a gated community, and all but a few roads within the city are privately held and maintained with the exception of two main roads (Railroad Canyon and Goetz Roads). The entrances to the Canyon Lake POA are guard-gated, accessible by residents and selected guests approved by the owners within the POA.


About one-quarter of the homes within Canyon Lake are adjacent to the golf course, and another one-quarter have waterfront access with private boat docks and slips. All of the homeowners within the Canyon Lake POA have rights and access to the Lake for recreational uses.


Personal watercraft (Jet Skis etc.) are banned for use on the reservoir. However, ski-boats, fishing boats, row boats and kayaks are allowed, as is wakeboarding and waterskiing, are all permitted.


There is an unusual law here in Canyon Lake (strictly enforced by the CLPOA), that forbids all public use of ANY "two-wheeled motorized vehicle" (that is, all motorcycles, mopeds, and dirt bikes) on all private streets throughout the CLPOA, but excluding the two public roads (Railroad Canyon and Goetz Roads).

Canyon Lake Real Estate (192 words)
Canyon Lake is one of five gated cities in California, and began as a master-planned community in 1968.

The Property Owners Association of Canyon Lake is charged with the operation of the entry gates, setting rules and regulations, and overseeing the enforcement of architectural guidelines, maintenance of private streets, and security.
Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada (626 words)
Lake Tahoe is strikingly beautiful when seen from afar, but those seeking peace and solitude will not be immediately impressed with much of the area around the shore as it contains innumerable shops, marinas, campsites, and especially holiday homes and lodges.
Approach: Lake Tahoe is the largest in California, and is notable for being particularly deep, cold, and clear, and for having dramatic Alpine surroundings.
Ring Road: US 50 and NV 28 form part of a circular route right round the lake, which for the most part of its 90 mile length is within sight of the shoreline, although not at the junction; driving north from here, it is a little while before the clear blue waters come into view.
