The Lake Berryessa Chamber of Commerce
Dear Chamber Members and Potential Chamber Members,
2023 is here and we hope for a recovery from the previous tragedies. Significant progress has been made towards having Napa County take over management of the lake recreation areas. Napa has signed a Managing Partner Agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation and took over management of Steele Canyon, Spanish Flat, and Monticello Shores Recreation Area on November 1, 2020. The Chamber has had a major influence in making this happen. And the Board of Supervisors has chosen Sun Outdoors to redevelop these three resorts.
Suntex Marinas, the present operator of Pleasure Cove Marina won the bid to rebuild Berryessa Point - formerly Berryessa Marina.
The new operators obviously look at Lake Berryessa as a major opportunity to expand into the important recreation area of Lake Berryessa with an emphasis on their proximity to a world famous tourist destination - the Napa Valley. The Napa supervisors and County staff have been uniformly supportive for the last three years and deserve the thanks of our community.
The redeveloped resorts won’t just be for tourists, Board of Supervisors Chairperson Alfredo Pedroza said. He wants to see a Lake Berryessa community area that local residents also enjoy. "We believe Sun Communities, Inc. is the right partner for Napa County and the Berryessa community," Pedroza said. "They have the financial standing to deliver on the infrastructure investment we need to make."
