Dogwood Lake serves the families of Cedar Ridge Ranch interested in swimming and barbecue activities during the summer months. The lake is open for activities Memorial Day weekend through the end of September.

The lake is located off Mt Elizabeth Road and is secured by an electronic key entry system.
There are two swimming platforms, picnic tables, barbecue pits, a sandy beach area, volleyball court,
horseshoe pit, jungle gym, phone and bathroom facilities.

Dogwood Lake was first used as the water supply for Cedar Ridge until the water filtration
and treatment plant was constructed alongside the PG&E ditch. The lake was then
purchased and maintained by the CRRPOA, which provided a separate membership level for
those who used the lake. In 1996, the Dogwood Lake membership became a separate entity.

You can now visit Dogwood Lake on Facebook. 

The initial membership fee to Dogwood Lake Association is $500.00 and the annual dues thereafter are $150.00. Interested parties can contact the membership director, Amy Olenchalk, at (209) 743-9850. During May through August there will be a membership drive, at which time the initial membership will be reduced by 50% to $250.00 until July 1st. From July 2 thru August 1, the initial fee is $350, and from August 2 to September 2, the initial fee is $450.
