Lakeshore is...
a year-round resort located 70 miles northeast of Fresno, California. The resort is in the Sierra National Forest, at 7000 feet elevation, and rests at the north end of Huntington Lake. Lakeshore consists of 27 rental cabins, a 20-space RV park, general store, saloon, restaurant, lodge hall, marina and 20-room hotel (not yet in service). Lakeshore has been under the present owners, Stephen and Melinda Sherry, since February 1988. The Resort has come a long way since the early years under the Sherrys. Upgrades in cabin structural support, interiors and exteriors have kept us busy and continue to remain a priority every year. Other plans include remodeling and opening the hotel, new roofs for the main buildings, a new kitchen for our restaurant and catering departments, as well as expansion of the restrooms adjoining the bar and restaurant.

Area Info

Lakeshore Resort was built in 1922, and remains one of the last wooden structures of it's kind in California. Lakeshore Resort is the only year-round facility at Huntington Lake catering to every season with different opportunities. Huntington Lake is a man-made lake. Construction of the lake started in 1913. The lake feeds a power plant in a small town called Big Creek. There, the water is converted into energy that serves the Southern California area. There are three wildernesses around the Huntington Lake Area: John Muir, Ansel Adams and Kaiser Wilderness are spectacular to visit. Places to visit on a day trip while you are working at Lakeshore include: Yosemite National Park and Sequoia / Kings Canyon National Park. Both are approximately three hours away down the mountain - one to the Southeast and one to the Northeast. YOu can experience fantastic wilderness adventures right out your R.V. or Employee housing door.

Things To Do

The Huntington Lake Recreation area and surrounding areas offer the outdoor enthusiast many activities to explore. The lake is primarily a sailing lake; however, many use motorboats and jet skis on the lake. You can drive to the upper lakes in the backcountry and hike and fish them, as well. Mono Hot Springs offers a beautiful backcountry experience and the fun of natural mud hot springs. Some of the activities at Lakeshore and Huntington Lake include fishing in the alpine lakes and streams, boating, sailing, swimming, hiking, horseback riding and exploring either by car or on foot. The angler enjoys Rainbow Trout, German Brown and Kokanee salmon fishing.

The Pacific Crest Trail meets at Edison Lake, where you can fish and hike in the back country. Just 45 minutes away is the town of Prather/Auberry, with a full-size grocery store, Longs, Subway, pizza and Mexican food. 1 hour away are the towns of Clovis and Fresno, for all of the conveniences of the city. Usually, once you experience the beauty of Huntington Lake, a trip to the valley is just not necessary!

During the winter months, we enjoy Alpine skiing, at nearby Sierra Summit, Nordic skiing, and snowmobiling on 175 miles of groomed trails. Another popular activity is snowshoeing. It requires little training or experience and can be done right out your front door.

Winter in the sierras is truly an exhilarating experience. With the beauty of snowfall comes all the exciting activities that are worth giving a try.
