Saddle Creek is also located close to Lake Tulloch. The lake is fed by the Stanislaus River, which is primary fed by snow runoff. Unlike every other lake that you have probably ever seen, Lake Tulloch has predictable lake levels. During the summer months, Lake Tulloch maintains lake levels that vary daily between 1-3 feet. It has dams on the inlet and outlet sides of the Stanislaus River and the daily exchange of water helps to keep the water clear and fresh. This keeps the water flowing and the lake doesn't become stagnate like other lakes that claim to be "Clear". During the winter months (when it is generally too cold to ski or swim) the lake is purposely lowered 10-12 feet for flood control of the areas located farther down the river. When you own property at Lake Tulloch, you really own property at Lake Tulloch. In most cases, you acually own property under the water. It is not a lease that can be revoked like many of my recent clients encountered at Lake Berryessa. This is what makes Lake Tulloch a true rarity. Lake Tulloch consists of four main channels shaped similar to an "X". The channels are fairly protected by the surrounding foothills, keeping the winds to a minimum and providing for great watersport conditions.The "glassy" water is favorite to most waterskiers and wakeboarders. Tulloch is also stocked with small mouth and large mouth bass and trout which provides for great fishing. The center of the lake is open to the wind, providing for windsailing, jetskiing and tubing.

The New Copperopolis Town Square brings a modern version of historical gold rush town capturing the essence of the Sierra foothills gold country and creating a sense of place that is missing from so many retail centers in the region. "Town Square" features a wide selection of boutique retail shops and unique businesses not found in other Northern California towns or commercial centers. An eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind stores, fine-dining and convenience restaurants and art galleries has the potential to attract visitors from throughout the state. Personally, I find myself visiting Snaps Coffee House nearly everyday. The "Gold Rush" Pizza at Paninni's is spectacular and I cannot wait for the arrivial of Griff's Grill and BBQ. For your retail enjoyment, Firefall Jewelers and Fancy Pans are a must see!

Lake Tulloch is located about 70 miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, making it possible for easy day trips. Big Trees State park is located about 45 miles away from the Lake Tulloch area. Snowskiing is also close at either Bear Valley Ski Resort, or Dodge Ridge. Day Trips to Tahoe are also easy during the summer months over the scenic Ebbetts Pass. We are located minutes from historic gold mining towns including Columbia, Angels Camp, Jamestown, Sonora, and Murphys. Murphys is the latest "hotspot" for wine enthusiasts. During the summer, the Lake Tulloch area provides a great opportunity to explore other local lakes and recreation. New Melones, Don Pedro, Lake McClure, New Hogan, and Lake Camanche are within a quick drive. Great lakes to visit, but you can't live there. _________________________________________________________________________________________
