The well-traveled access road leading from North La Patera Lane, continuing alongside Lake Los Carneros, and ending behind the historic Stow House has been repaved.

The pavement maintenance project ran June 26 to July 6. In all, 3,600 linear feet of pavement was rehabilitated to support access for ongoing maintenance of Lake Los Carneros Open Space.

“This is a popular path used by naturalists, families, seniors, bicyclists, parents with their strollers, and people from all walks of life who come to this scenic spot for its beauty and serenity,” said Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte.

“Whether they are frequent visitors of Lake Los Carneros and the Stow House, or experiencing these special locations for the first time, we are so glad they are now able to enjoy a smooth, freshly paved road,” she said.

Those who would like to walk along the road can access it at either entry points off North La Patera Lane or at the Stow House entrance on North Los Carneros Road.

Another way to visit is to join the community at Goleta’s annual Dam Dinner, 4-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19 at Lake Los Carneros.
