About Lake Alpine
The Lake Alpine area was originally known as Silver
Valley, named by the Murphy's Exploring Party of 1855
while searching for a route across the Sierras. Before
that, the famous mountain man, Jedediah Smith, was said
to have traveled through here in 1827; and before that,
the Miwok Indians spent summers at Lake Alpine hunting,
fishing, and gathering pine nuts.
About the Resort
The Lodge
at Lake Alpine Resort was built by
B.R.Gianelli in 1927 and completed the following year
as a three story building, but the lodge collapsed in
heavy snowfall of 1932. Only the stone fireplace built
by Monte Wolfe and a pile of rubble remained. The lodge
was rebuilt to its present form and contains a restaurant,
bar and general/gift store. The resort also offers cabin
rentals and boat rentals with a caring staff that makes
sure that your experience at Lake Alpine
is fun and memorable! |
