The main gate entry monuments are expected to be completed by the end of December. The lettering, lighting and water was added last weekend.
Many residents were surprised to see the lighthouse blue instead of red to match the iconic lighthouse on the lake and as it was shown in the original de- sign.

The previous main gate entry monu-
ment welcomed visitors to Canyon Lake
for 30 years. It was demolished on March 25, 2016, when construction started on the Main Gate Project. Later that year, the POA put out a Long Range Master
