History The name origin is unknown. Simas is not uncommon of a surname, but no record has been found to suggest why it got the name.
Businesses A few farms, and a plant nursery. No services or retail for miles. Nearest town is Watsonville.
Transportation No bus service to this area.
Maps :Google topographic of Simas Lake
The U.S. Geological Survey has a list of place names that people use to make lists of lakes, cities, etc. You can often find such results on the internet. By doing a search of obscure locations, like Simas Lake, you can find a listing like: Simas Lake Class: Lake City: Watsonville East County: Santa Cruz State: CA Elevation: 120 meters
"Watsonville East" is not a town, but the name of the USGS map that shows the location. Such a listing might also have other information that is misrepresented. One site claims Simas Lake is 3.4 miles north of Interlaken, CA, which is a Census Designated Place and not an actual town. Some sites consider any lake a possible area for fishing. Thus Simas Lake might appear as a fishing spot. There are some large mouth bass in the lake, however, the lake is not open to the public.
