  This is a peaceful place to escape the Silicon Valley madness. There are 3 swimming beaches on the lake warm to swim mid May to mid September. The heated pool is open until the end of October. Groveland is home to the oldest West Coast saloon. 1 hour drive away are caverns with stalagmites to see. Moccasin Creek Fish Hatchery (15min drive) is our aquarium youngsters like to visit :) There are local farms. There's working train ride 30min away in Jamestown: Railtown 1897 State Historic Park/Museum. Yosemite snowboard area and the Badger Pass ski resort are both 1.5h drive away. Yosemite's Glacier Point & Tioga roads are turned into cross country ski courses each winter. If you have exotic hobbies like edible mushroom picking or bird watching- you will find the fabled king mushroom and the American Bold Eagle in the near by forests. Just to name a few animals I've seen here myself: coyotes, squirrels, wild turkeys, foxes, raccoons, heirs, deer, snakes (that are more afraid of you than you are afraid of them), frogs, eagles, hawks and condors, and even a tarantula on one occasion (it is not poisonous, but looks scary :), not to mention exotic Yosemite animals. Fishing, riding ATVs, kayaking, water-skiing, golfing, motor-biking, cycling, backpacking, bow shooting, meditating, you name it- you'll find a place for all that near by Groveland, and you won't feel like someone is staring at you (a deer maybe? :) Yosemite is 30 minutes drive away. I'd recommend you not just doing the ritual of getting stuck in 2 hour summer Yosemite Valley traffic just to take a picture for face-book bragging :) See Yosemite Valley in winter, or as the smartest of us do: in Fall or Spring- no crowds and you pretty much have the park to yourself. If you come in summer, take the Tioga road. You can see Half Dome at Tioga's Olmsted Point. Hike Yosemite meadows- hike gentle granite slopes, follow a creek to see wild trout and little waterfalls. Go all the way to Mono lake and swim in its salt water (make sure to wear swimming shoes as the bottom is rocky)- take a stroll in the Tufa garden and feel like you are on another planet for a minute. Plan your Yosemite trip smart in summer: Don't get to the park after 9am, unless you want to find out how much time it takes for a 1.5 mile of cars to get in. If you came at 8am go to the Glacier Point 1st. And as I mentioned go in fall ,when all the roads in Yosemite are open, and tourists are hard to find (unless you like heat, not finding parking, traffic, and restroom lines to the restrooms you don't want to be opening the doors of :)
  But don't worry, you can always turn around and leave Yosemite on "one of those days" to come back to Groveland for a swim, or to visit one of the 7 pizza restaurants in Groveland (I'm still mystified as to why Groveland is so huge on pizza :) or maybe to take your kids to one of the Pine Mountain lake playgrounds, or to spend some time with a fishing pole at the Fishermen's Cove, or to rent a boat or kayak, or to take the water taxi and swim on every single beach of PML, and grab some food at the cafe on the Marina. There are BBQ areas around the lake, but if you crave fancy cuisine, go the the Grill- that's the restaurant by the golf course. Stroll though the downtown and ask locals what special is happening- who knows you might witness the annual Groveland parade, or visit a treasure hunter's antiques sale, or find out that today is kids fly FREE day at the local airport, who knows?
  
  Come to Groveland to rest, and rest well. And if you come here to surf the web or to watch the latest episodes, or a sister's 2nd wedding video, or something someone sent you, or to load up on stocks, or to marathon play in 3D, or to make sure the world sees your Yosemite Half Dome masterpiece ASAP, etc., you simply will NOT come back rested.
  PLEASE don't do this to yourself, there won't be anyone but yourself to blame for staring at pixels instead of enjoying life!
