Hike to, and around, Pinecrest Lake
1 mile hike (not child friendly due to rocky patches and steep inclines) Directions to the Trailhead: Make a right turn out of Pinecrest Chalet. You will find Pioneer Trail Campground up the road on the left. Enter the campground and walk past the bathrooms. You will see a slight incline, walk up the hill and you will find a trail sign. Follow the trail and it will bring you to Pinecrest Lake!
Hike to Cleo's Bath
4–5 mile hike Min Elev: 5,600 ft. Max Elev: 6,160 ft. Directions to the Trailhead: Pinecrest Lake is an easy walk down Meadowview Rd through Pinecrest Campground. To drive, turn right onto Pinecrest Lake Dr and continue to the lake. Park at the end of the road near the Pinecrest Lake Trailhead. Approx. 5-min drive. Notes: Start by hiking counterclockwise around Pinecrest Lake. Before reaching the inlet, where the Pinecrest Lake Trail crosses the South Fork of the Stanislaus River on a large footbridge, take a right at a small iron trail marker pointing toward Cleo’s Bath. The trail follows the river through meadows and mixed conifer forest until it approaches a large falls. From here the route is sketchy and involves non-technical rock scrambling. Carefully follow trail ducks and painted orange arrows. The destination soon is on the left, after an ascent of about 300 ft. A series of pools formed by large granite formations provide a spectacular setting for swimming and relaxation.
