Cameron Park Lake 

The Cameron Park Lake recreation area, located at 2989 Cambridge Rd in Cameron Park, is a man-made lake created in 1951. The Community Services District took over the lake in 1975 and continues to provide enjoyment, relaxation, and beauty to all visitors. This recreation facility offers a 1.1-mile walking path, catch and release fishing, an 18-hole disc golf course, tennis courts, a playground, paved parking, and a Gazebo with picnic areas that are available to reserve for your special event. Dogs are not permitted at this park, except for service animals.

Cameron Park Lake is the perfect outdoor rental for any birthday party, wedding, or company picnic. Our beautiful gazebo area, as well as the adjacent picnic area, is available year-round for your events. Both areas provide picnic tables,  and lake-side views.  

Entrance fees are charged year-round with fees helping to fund the ongoing maintenance of the park. The entrance fee applies to any vehicle entering the park, including those using the Disc Golf Course.  The cost of entry is $5.50 per vehicle, payable by credit card only, OR is included with an Annual Pass. We highly recommend the purchase of an Annual Pass as the fees generated support the many amenities provided by the Cameron Park Community Services District and provide the purchaser with additional benefits. 

Cameron Park Lake – Seasonal Water Quality Treatment Update (4/3/26) 

Cameron Park Lake – Seasonal Water Quality Treatment Update

The Cameron Park Community Services District has begun its seasonal lake water quality program. As part of this effort, we added an organic blue pond dye to the lake today.  This is a proactive, early-season treatment that helps reduce larger algae issues later in the year and supports overall lake health.

This UV blocking dye is a common, professional water management tool used to help keep lakes healthy and looking good throughout the warmer months.  It is not a pesticide or hazardous material and is safe for fish, birds, wildlife, and people.

What does it do?

  • It helps mitigate algae blooms by preventing UV penetration, ultimately creating a healthier environment for the lake, aquatic life, and residents who enjoy it
  • By blocking red-orange and blue-violet light waves it disrupts the UV light needed for underwater aquatic plant growth, reducing the growth of unwanted aquatic weeds

We also cleared and restarted the two floating fountains, which had been clogged with winter debris. They now help circulate and aerate the lake at the shallower end of the lake, while the diffused aeration system continues operating in the deeper, south end.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the District. Thank you for helping us keep Cameron Park Lake clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone!
