Visited on October 2, 2017 on my journey from Sacramento to Owens Valley Conservation Camp near Bishop, CA to proctor a Drinking Water Operator Exam. Pinecrest Lake is a 300 acre resort community lake located in the Sierra Mountains northeast of Sonora, CA off of Highway 108. It was formed when the Strawberry Dam was built in 1916, at a time when the lake was known as "Strawberry Lake". The name was changed to "Pinecrest Lake" a few years later. The dam is on the South Fork of the Stanislaus River just off Highway 108 northeast of Sonora, CA at an elevation of 5,600 feet in the Stanislaus National Forest. The lake is 300 acres in the summer when full. During the winter the lake recedes to a very small size.
