Protect our Lake!

The Golden Mussel is an invasive species and has been detected in various waterways in California, including the Port of Stockton and surrounding rivers leading to Clifton Bay. It resembles quagga and zebra mussels but is more resilient, thriving in lower calcium levels and temperatures. These mussels reproduce rapidly, forming colonies that can block water pipes, disrupt ecosystems, and negatively
impact recreation. The Golden Mussel can attach to hard surfaces, such as boats, using byssal threads. Due to their harmful impact, California issued an emergency order in January 2025, making it illegal to transport Golden Mussels.

To prevent the spread of the invasive Golden Mussel, always clean, drain, and dry your boat and equipment after every waterbody, every time:
• Clean: Remove all visible mussels, plants, and debris from your boat, trailer, and gear.
• Drain: Empty all water from your boat, including live wells, ballast tanks, and
bilge areas.
• Dry: Let everything dry completely before
entering another body of water.

Following these steps helps protect our lake from harmful infestations.

Member Feedback for Year-Round Recreation Center

The Pine Mountain Lake Long Range Planning Committee has been asked to evaluate the possibility of a recreation facility that includes a large year-round swimming pool, exercise room, and associated spaces for members.

The current PML pool was built 43 years ago, 63-person capacity, limited deck area, and is not available during the winter.

The request is for a modern facility that meets the member needs such as year-round swimming and water aerobics, lap swimming, gym-style exercise room, higher pool capacity, more parking spaces, and a jacuzzi/spa. A new amenity would enable more member use and enhance property values in Pine Mountain Lake
