PML Do’s and Dont’s

RULES, REGULATIONS, DON’TS AND DO’S
From the PINE MOUNTAIN LAKE ASSOCIATION

As loosely interpreted by RE/MAX Yosemite Gold

Boating
California Boating Rules apply
No guest or renter-owned boats allowed on the lake. This includes canoes, kayaks, and inflatable boats, which must all be registered by a property owner just like hard bottomed boats.
Power boats can only be beached at designated launch areas
NO jet skis! Water skis only. NO inner tubes or discs.

Sailing
You can sail any TIME you want, but not any WHERE.
No sailing rental boats in Big Creek cove.
Launch sailboats only from the Marina boat ramp.
No sailing in the skiing area during ski hours.

Swimming (Lake)
There are no lifeguards. Swim at your own risk. The water is as deep as 110 feet, and it’s COLD down there!
Swim in the roped areas at the three beaches, or 25 feet from shore at private lakefront property.
Don’t swim across the lake (and get caught in a propeller) or at Fisherman’s Cove (and scare the fish).
Tubes and “soft” float toys are allowed in the beach swim areas, but not float tubes, surfboards, or lounge rafts.

Swimming (Pool)
Bring your guest pass for access to the pool.
Children 13 years and younger must bring an adult.
Wear a bathing suit in the water. Put plastic pants over the baby’s diaper.
No glass containers.

Beaches
You can’t have your dog at the beach. Even a little dog. Even if the goose’s poop is bigger than your dog’s.
If the Marina parking lot is full, don’t wait for a space. Park at Dunn Court, the Lake Lodge, or Fisherman’s Cove and ride the water taxi to the marina. Water taxi operates daily from 10 am to 6 pm during summer. At the Marina only: on weekends and holidays between the hours of 9 am and 1 pm only property owners can park at the Marina.
No skateboards, rollerblades or roller skates allowed on Marina parking lot.
No bike riding on Marina lawn or beach areas.
No hardballs or frisbees.

Fishing

Fishing off the water taxi docks during water taxi operating hours is prohibited. Don’t fish from private property without permission. No fishing within 25 feet of designated swim areas.

PML Streets
The streets aren’t wide enough to park on. So don’t.
Don’t ride ATV’s, skateboards, scooters, or dirt bikes on the
streets.
