This reservoir was created when the Camanche Dam was built across the Mokelumne River in the 1960s. The dam and lake get their name from the former town of Camanche, that now lies deep below the surface of the water. These days it is a popular recreation destination for all manner of outdoor activities. The day use and camping areas do fill to capacity regularly throughout the busy summer season, so early planning is essential if you don't want to miss out.

New Melones Lake straddles the border of Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. In addition to providing electric power, irrigation water, and flood control to the area the lake is also open for recreation. Visitors can enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, and camping.

This beautiful 75-foot waterfall is accessible from a number of different trailheads, meaning you can take your time and make it a day hike, but if time is short you can do a quick out and back. Either way if you're in the Arnold area and looking for a hike, these falls are a great option.

This dirt road gets you close to Cougar Rock, which offers some really spectacular views. Linking Cougar Rock Road to Manuel Peak Road is a great way to scope out some of the best viewpoints in the Arnold Rim area without veering onto more difficult mountain bike trails.
