Twain Harte

Twain Harte sits at an elevation of between 3600 and 4000 feet is the entrance to the pine, fir and spruce forest of the Sierra Nevada. Pleasantly noticeable are the fresh scents of these gorgeous coniferous evergreen giants. 

Summers have warm days and mild nights making Twain Harte a nice escape from the heat of the Central Valley. In addition to the outdoor activities summer-time offers music in the park, golf (pee-wee and “real”) lakeside activities and art festivals. Winters are very cool with snow occurring several times, just close enough to enjoy the winter activities in the nearby communities of Long Barn, Strawberry, and Dodge Ridge. 

Originally known primarily as a vacation spot, Twain Harte is one of the fastest growing areas in Tuolumne County.  Residents are attracted to the beauty of the area, the four seasons, the mild weather, and the abundance of tall pines combined with an idyllic mountain lake.  It is truly the “Sweetheart of the Mother Lode”. 

SCHOOLS:  Twain Harte Elementary (K-8) AND Sonora High School
