Then & Now: Pinecrest has been loved by families for generations

My most cherished childhood memories are of family vacations at Lake Havasu. I would spend my summer and spring breaks swimming, fishing, and boating with my sisters, parents, and grandparents. As a parent, when I discovered Strawberry, I knew that this would be the place I would build those same treasured moments with my son.

The Pinecrest Area has a long tradition of being a destination for family vacations. Many friends in our community have a life-time of memories under the pines of the Stanislaus National Forest. They've been kind enough to share a few memorable moments from their family archives.
