I biked and hiked around the Lake today.  It is high enough that it cuts off the use-trail on the Junipero-Serra side.  It seems well down from the top of the embankments, though.  With the sun out today and a few fleecy clouds reflected in the water, it was lovely.  I wish I knew how to post photos here without having to link a url.

There was an old sign I stopped to read and photograph.  "USE OF LAKE LAGUNITA.  Lake Lagunita is no longer maintained for recreational use.  It currently functions as a flood control facilty and serves as breeding habitat for the California Tiger Salamander....."

So my memory about flood control was not entirely in error.  I wonder in what sense it is used for flood control, given that we know from our resident expert that it certainly isn't part of the regional flood control plan.
