Bass Lake

Bass lake has many hiking areas, and a lake. With nearby food that you can boat/drive/walk through. You might even spot black bears there during summer and early fall, in calmer areas, but please be safe. During spring/ Early fall time, when the water is still around, we still get warm weather, so you can enjoy lake activities, such as boating, kayaking, paddle-boarding,... In a much calmer lake. That's the best time for people that enjoy a more quiet time. And winter there's snow, with nearby areas for sledding. Favorite Hike: Mono Trail, Bass Lake. Very short, with very rewarding views. Favorite food: Miller's Landing Resort "HULA BOWL". Favorite Hang out area: The Pines Resort is a great start to get to know Bass Lake. With some stores, different restaurant options, events and farmer's market (Wednesday 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM)
The town of historic Mariposa California town, about 30 minutes away, a former gold mining town. Walk the town for starters. After you’ve finished poking in the shops and galleries on the main street (make sure you walk down as far as 5th Street) and after you’ve tried a local wine tasting at Ciera Wine Cellars, wander off on the path alongside the creek and explore the side streets.

Distance: 6 miles (9.6 km) round-trip Difficulty: Moderate Begin at: Railroad Flat Parking Area pet-friendly; bathrooms, day-use facilities, equestrian use. There is day use and picnicking along Highway 140 and Briceburg. It is a beautiful drive through Hwy 140. It can be combined with a day trip to Mariposa, or done on its own. Spring Wildflower Bloom Soak in the beautiful wildflower scenery in spring. This activity is great anywhere in the county but maybe the best in the Merced Canyon where California Poppies paint the slopes orange. Spring Whitewater Rafting: Churn, Baby, Churn In spring snowmelt turns the Merced River into a whitewater rafting thrill ride as it leaves Yosemite National Park and drops dramatically through the narrow canyons near the town of El Portal. As riotous spring flows settle into calmer summer conditions, guided rafting turns into a gentler scenic float.
