HESPERIA, Calif., Sept. 29 (Our Hesperia) —Hesperia Lake Park reopened Saturday, Sept. 26, after an emergency-services closure during the Juniper Fire near Apple Valley, Hesperia Parks & Recreation announced.
The district had closed both the park and fishing while the fire burned. Its closure notice said the lake was being used as an emergency services headquarters and a source of water.
