The Groveland/Yosemite Airport (then known as Pine Mountain Lake Airport) was served during the late 1970s and early 1980s by Yosemite Airlines, a commuter air carrier based in Columbia, CA which operated small Cessna prop aircraft with scheduled passenger flights between the airport and San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Sacramento International Airport (SMF).http://www.timetableimages.com, Jan. 24, 1977 & Dec. 11, 1979 Yosemite Airlines timetableshttp://www.departedflights.com, April 1, 1981 Yosemite Airlines route map The airport was listed in the Official Airline Guide (OAG) as "Yosemite National Park" although Yosemite Valley in the national park is located approximately 46 miles east of the airfield via California State Route 120.http://www.departedflights.com, Nov. 15, 1979 Official Airline Guide (OAG), San Francisco flight schedules
Name Change In January 2026, the name of the airport was changed from Pine Mountain Lake Airport to Groveland/Yosemite Airport.https://mymotherlode.com/news/local/10457920/rebranding-to-groveland-yosemite-airport-approved.html, Jan. 28, 2026, Rebranding To Groveland-Yosemite Airport Approved This was done for two primary reasons. First, to reinforce that this is a public-use airport and not private to the Pine Mountain Lake HOA. Second, to better associate the airport with Yosemite, since it serves as a convenient access to nearby Yosemite.
