Lake LagunitaSomething of a misnomer, Lake Lagunita is actually dry for a good portion of the year. Winter rains, and diverted water from nearby San Francisquito Creek, usually fill the irrigation reservoir in time for Spring Quarter, when the Athletics Department offers windsurfing lessons and students make use of its beach for reading, sunbathing and barbeques. Although the lakebed was once the site of the Big Game Bonfire that precedes the annual football matchup against rival Berkeley each fall, the bonfire was moved to a location near Stanford Stadium after the lake was discovered to be the breeding ground of endangered tiger salamanders. The trail surrounding Lake Lagunita is popular with exercise enthusiasts.
