Why the name 'Mariposa'?

Vayden Anderson, retired Overland Lake developer, viewed an aerial shot of the area and imagined that the lakes resembled the wings of a butterfly. 'Mariposa', Spanish for butterfly, and its transformation from an empty field into a beautiful lake resort, closely parallels the metamorphosis of a butterfly.

Here at Mariposa Lake, we celebrate these winged works of art by naming our drives, trails and beaches in their honor.

- Silverline Drive
