Low Lake Level Notice: Medina Lake is not a constant level lake. The lake level is currently very low and unfortunately our cove is now dry. Given the amazing pool & other amenities on the property we feel you will most likely not want to leave the premises. However if you do want a small adventure there are now walking tracks on the lake bed that are fun to explore – if you look closely you’ll find old fossils & artifacts. The views from the property are still lovely even when the lake is low.
