Lake of the Pines

Living in Lakes of the Pines

Living in Lake of the Pines offers an exciting and active lifestyle for residents. Magnolia Creek feeds the three lakes that adorn the community. Though they are actually reservoirs, the water is great for fishing, swimming, and boating.

At a middle elevation, keeping the fog below and the snow above, the community experiences near perfect temperatures all year long. The amenities at Lake of the Pines are first rate. In addition to the beautifully maintained Dark Horse Golf Course, residents have access to:

• Eight Different Community Parks
• An On-Site Sports Bar and Lounge
• Several Tennis Courts
• A Spacious Clubhouse
• A Resort-Style Community Swimming Pool
• And More

Weekends and evenings, break out your kayak and drift along the sleepy waterways or take a long walk or bike among the gigantic trees that shade the trails. And of course, private, exclusive access to the golf course and club house makes this the retirement destination for many relocating from the Bay area.

Yet families with school-aged children also reside at Lake of the Pines. There is a separate elementary, junior high, and high school accommodating children of all ages. The school system’s standards of excellence have been honored by the state and the high school has recently added its own performing arts and aquatic center.
