PINE MOUNTAIN LAKE
Pine Mountain Lake is a private gated community, situated 1 mile Northeast of Groveland, Ca, and 26 miles from the west gate to Yosemite National Park. The lake is a man made private lake for recreation use of the property owners and their guests only. It is spring fed and maintains level from run off of Big Creek. The lake level has never dipped lower than 5 feet, even in years of low rain fall. It has 210 acres of surface water and 6 miles of shoreline, most of which is occupied by lakefront homes. Pine Mountain Lake is a popular summer vacation destination with the lake itself being a primary draw. Lake activities available include water skiing, sailing, boating, swimming and fishing. There are three sandy swim beaches, a boat launch marina, and a fisherman's park/picnic area. Pine Mountain Lake Association stocks the lake with trout, and there is also a healthy population of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, red ear perch, and catfish. Kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, paddle boats, and fishing boats can be rented at the Marina Store, and The Marina Grill is open daily from May through September.
