RCWD Board studies future Vail Lake recreation uses Tony Ault Writer Optional future recreational uses of the 7,000 acres surrounding Vail Lake, including the Vail Lake Resort, are now under study by the seven-member Rancho California Water District Board of Directors. Andrew Webster, chief engineer for the district, presented a 251page detailed report to the board on Tuesday, Aug. 25 regarding the possible future uses for the property surrounding Vail Lake. The district recently purchased the property in
a bankruptcy sale for more than $49 million. The land includes the Vail Lake Resort and the nearby Sundance Ranch property along Highway 79 between Temecula and Aguanga. The resort has been operated by a park management company since the district took over. It has honored current fishing and water sports memberships that were issued by the former operators and plans to continue to do so until Dec. 15 of this year. More than 40 people attended the board meeting, most of them
equestrians who like to use the many trails surrounding the lake and the campground facilities. One Vail Lake Resort member “Buck” Eilers, appeared before the board pleading for it to assure that fishing and boating on the lake will continue and requested improvements to the marina ramps and camping facilities. The resort members, equestrians, campers, others who use the lake properties and the 140,000 district customers who expect a return on their investment will be affected by the board’s decisions expected to be announced
by the end of the year. Webster, in his presentation, gave board members possible options, and what he called “property decision points” they need to make on the future land uses. He separated the land use report into the categories of habitat, trails, Vail Lake recreation, Vail property recreation, Sundance Ranch property recreation and district purposes. He said the staff will devote its time to implementing the most critical issues in the future use of the property.
