The Entrance Pond (0.5-acre) sets a scenic tone for LOP.

The four lakes were created by dams and are technically reservoirs. At 1,500 feet elevation, summer water temperatures exceed 75F and the waters support warm water game fish populations including largemouth and small mouth bass, redear and bluegill sunfish, black crappie and catfish. Wildlife such as river otters, muskrats, snakes, turtles and eagles rely on the waterways. Large numbers of waterfowl and other water-associated birds use the lakes and ponds. Recreational uses include; swimming, fishing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking / canoeing, sailing, sail boarding, cruising and pontoon boating.

Lake of the Pines is located above the fog and below snow level, offering many great days of play through the year.
