Pine Flat Lake, Artificial lake in Sierra Nevada foothills, California.

Pine Flat Lake extends across 5,970 acres with a maximum depth of 429 feet, surrounded by the Sierra and Sequoia National Forests.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed Pine Flat Dam on the Kings River in 1954, creating a reservoir with 1,000,000 acre-feet storage capacity.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife manages the lake's fisheries, maintaining populations of rainbow trout, bass, salmon, catfish, crappie, and bluegill.

Two marinas at Deer Creek and Lakeview provide equipment rentals and services, while multiple campgrounds offer facilities around the water's edge.

The Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant, completed in 1984, generates 165 Megawatts of hydroelectric power from the reservoir's water flow.
