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.

The hike down to the river is pretty easy, but remember to conserve some energy for the return trip. Since you're hiking down to a river you'll be ascending on the way back. The river itself is a beautiful mountain flow that varies wildly throughout the seasons. If you're here in spring or early summer expect high water levels as the snowmelt from higher elevations rushes downhill.

As you would expect from a place called Top Of The World, the views from here are great. You can hike to the summit as an out and back, or loop around on some longer trails for a day hike.

You'll get some great views from up here! Touring cyclists should make sure to approach via Manuel Peak Road (often misspelled as Manual Peak Road) to the north. The trail to the south is a black-diamond-rated mountain bike trail—not great for touring tires.
