About Our Community...

Located in the town of Arnold along scenic HWY 4 in the beautiful Sierra Foothills of Calaveras County at 4,000 feet, our community enjoys the majesty of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and Big Trees State Park in Stanislaus National Forest. Lake Mont Pines is a private community with a picturesque lake offering seasonal activities and year-round local recreation and amenities. Come enjoy our "Little Piece of Heaven" where you can enjoy hiking, golf, tennis, skiing, swimming, boating, wine tasting, fine dining and much much more!

4th of July at our beautiful Lake

NOTICE:
  Downed tree removal along the lake shore on Lakewood Drive and at the corner of Lakemont/Lakewood is in process. This will take a few more days to complete.  There may be traffic delays during this effort. Vehicles should use Evergreen drive as a detour.  These trees fell during our windy winter storm in December 2011.  Everyones patience will be appreciated.

HWY 4, Ebbetts Pass is now open. Come enjoy the mountains!
MEMBER SPRING CLEAN UP DAY
SATURDAY, MAY 26th
Call for Volunteers!  Volunteers are a very important part of the success of our Association.  If you would like to help, join us on Saturday, May 26th for our annual SPRING CLEAN UP DAY.  Please bring your rakes and pitch forks to help remove pine needles and winter debris.  We will also be picking up litter around the lake, trimming some trees and getting our beautiful beach, lake and Lodge facilities ready for another successful summer season.  Clean Up day starts at 8:30 a.m. with complimentary coffee and treats followed by a few hours of work and capped off with our super Sloppy Joe lunch for all volunteers.  Please join us to give back to the community, work with your neighbors and meet our summer staff for 2012. 



FINAL NOTICE:  These boats, stored at the lake by the dam, are not marked with lot # or registered with the office and are in violation of our rules.  Accordingly, they are now subject to removal and disposal.  If you own one of these boats please contact the office immediately to avoid further action by LMP.   It is recommended that boats be stored at you own property during the winter!


What's New!

Here is our Summer 2012 Events Schedule

We continue to work on the pier project.  A vendor has been selected and we are moving forward on the design, materials and timelines for the new pier and floats!

LODGE USE NEWS: At our March meeting, based on member input and request, the Board approved revisions to our Lodge use guidelines and fee schedules.  The Lodge is now available for rent by members year round with restrictions on summer hours of use due to beach crowds and parking availablilty.  The Lodge may be rented by members in good standing from June 15 to September 15 between the hours of 7-10 pm at the rate of $200.  During the off season, September 16 to June 14, the fee is $100 with expanded hours of use.  All use is reserved for members only and subject to first come first serve.  The updated information and application can be found on this website under Documents or at the on-site office.  Thank you everyone for your input.




Yes, our resident beaver has been busy helping us trim trees around the lake.  He is seldom seen but his efforts are obvious!  We will be placing a membrane around the base of his favorite trees to discourage his tree trimming efforts.

 

Wood Ducks

As you may know, one of our Directors, Kevin Brush, really enjoys wood ducks and has a passion for their care and well being.  Here is a video from one of Kevin's recent workshops.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxWDpi6pYuA



Kevin recently installed our own wood duck box as we hope they will return this Spring and take up residency.  Please Do Not Disturb our fowl friends!

Arnold Rim Trail (ART)
reports that post signs have now been installed on the trail directing hikers to LMP.  ART and the US Forest Service were very careful in the placement of these signs so that hikers will only be directed toward LMP.  There are no signs in the community directing to the trail head as it was felt that this wold contribute to traffic and parking concerns.  Please enjoy the trail and do not disturb these signs.  ART now has a new map which can be found at  
 arnoldrimtrail.org
