Another breathtaking place that stole my heart. 💚
Fun facts about this magical place:
• 🌊 Pinecrest Lake covers about 300 acres (1.2 km²) of pure mountain beauty.
• 🗺️ It’s located about 30 miles east of Sonora along Highway 108, sitting at an elevation of 5,600 feet (1,707 m).
• 🍓 The lake was originally known as Strawberry Flat (or Strawberry Lake) — named after the wild strawberries that used to grow here.
• 🎣 It’s a favorite spot for fishing, especially for rainbow trout, which are regularly stocked in the lake.
• 🏞️ In summer, you can swim, hike, and rent boats — and in winter, enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere and even snowy walks.
