Lake Murray Neighborhood
Lake Murray
Lake Murray is a beautiful, 198-acre reservoir built in 1916 after San Diego’s great floods. The 117-foot dam was named for James Murray, a Montana engineer who directed the building of this dam. It is also a wonderful park that offers walking trails, fishing including large mouth bass, bluegill, catfish, carp and rainbow trout. Photo Courtesy of SD Jewish World
Safeguarding the Reservoir
To make certain that pollutants from the sewers, automobiles and trash from these residential neighborhoods don’t run into the lake and foul the water supply, Lake Murray is surrounded by miles of diversion ditches.
