Mungi Lake

It was fun

Good fishing here.

Mungiki lake is actually Peck Road Water Conservation park. Nice place to bring the kids or come for nice walk or jog. Plenty of little paths to follow. They have restrooms, benches and BBQ'S.

A struggling landscape that can offer us so much with small, educated effort.
Positives: Surprisingly peaceful, despite near desertification by drought lowering the water level. Cement-looking banks do crumble when touched. Hot summer can't bake more than about 3" deep into the healthy-smelling mud of the lagoon. Gorgeous birds, frogs, fish, dragonflies, butterflies, and more are visible.
Negatives: The poor place is almost completely missing a riparian zone. A film edges the bleached white ecotone between water and land. The main signage warns against eating the fish, while the beautiful images of wild birds who use the lake hangs back by the service road. I pulled 4 bags of trash out of the lagoon edge in just an hour or so. Dumping over the northeastern ridge isn't being regulated.
