Our Lake

One of the prime amenities of Pine Ridge is its 20 acre lake. The lake is not a storm water pond as so many are. The main part of the lake is over 12 feet deep when the surface level is at the outlet weir. We sample the water periodically, and receive good reports from the lab.

The lake contains bass and bluegills, and some other fish that probably swam up the outlet channel. We get a smattering of water birds who perch along the riprap to feast on minnows. Fishing is allowed, but most in the community enjoy the lake via the 0.9 mile walking/biking path. In 2014 the Association made a special effort to irrigate and landscape the east side of the lake, and their effort has helped that area.
