Lake of the Pines - Nevada County, California



Visited on 3/9/2019, Jeff and I loaded up our dogs, Summer and Skye for a day adventure one hour north of our Ranch up to Nevada County, California.  This was a scattered rainy cloudy day, so we didn’t expect much and just out to explore the South Yuba River area of Northern California.   We visited four lakes, two actually located in Nevada County and two in Placer County.  Our third Lake to visit was Lake of the Pines.  Located northeast of Sacramento about 45 miles, and just ten miles north of Auburn, California in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains lies a nice 230 surface acre lake at an elevation of 1,507 feet above sea level.  Lake of the Pines is a 2,000 home limited access private community surrounding this man-made lake.  Jeff and I were not able to drive into the community so we drove around the south side of the lake to view the golf course that surrounds the community.  Nice drive and some beautiful homes mix with cattle ranches on the southside.
