Your guide to Bass Lake

All About Bass Lake

Regarded as one of the best fishing lakes in the Sierra Nevada, five-mile-long Bass Lake attracts anglers from all over California for its abundance of Kokanee salmon, trout, and catfish. Located 3.5 hoursā€™ drive east of San Francisco and an hour north of Fresno, the lake is also a magnet for water sports enthusiasts: water skiing, wakeboarding, and kayaking are all on the menu here, as is swimming in the lovely, shallow coves.

Surrounded by pine forests, Bass Lake is also popular for hiking and mountain biking. The Mono Trail is a short loop to the top of a rock with a panorama of the lake. The five-mile-return hike to Goat Mountain Fire Lookout is more challenging, but it rewards with spectacular views. The three-mile Willow Creek Trail takes you to Angel Falls, a delightful swimming spot.

Bass Lake is a gateway to Yosemite National Park, just 30 minutesā€™ drive to the south entrance and the iconic Tunnel View. The park is full of magical adventures, including the journey to Glacier Point for expansive vistas of Yosemite Valley, the hike through the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, or the Mist Trail with its cool spray from Vernal and Nevada Falls.

Summers are a great time to stay in one of the many cabins and rental homes in Bass Lake. Expect plenty of warm days and balmy nights for fun on the water. Every Friday in summer, the Bass Lake Live Summer Concert Series brings local musicians to the lake. In the fall, the temperatures drop, as do the crowds, but the weather is still mild ā€” and the changing colors are spectacular. Bass Lake Halloween and Fall Carnival is a popular event in October with carnival rides, pumpkin carving, music, and games, plus a beer garden. Spring is a vibrant time to visit as the sun is shining and flowers are blooming. In winter, snowfall turns Bass Lake into a wonderland, with cross-country skiing and fat-tire mountain biking. Yosemite National Park also has a small ski area for downhill skiing and snowboarding.
