Welcome to LakeMerritt.org
Lake Merritt in Oakland, California is one of the most unique urban spaces in the United States. Its three mile Necklace of Lights shoreline in the center of an exceptionally diverse city is a special place where nature and nurture migrate and mingle daily. This tidal lagoon is home to the United States' oldest designated wildlife refuge dating from 1870. lakemerritt.org is an independent, ad-free resource site with current information about Lake Merritt and links to the volunteer groups and advocacy agencies working for the common good of the lake and the lake area community. Its focus is promoting stewardship of the lake. All photos by John Kirkmire unless otherwise noted.
