Parks & Nature
Bass Lake is surrounded by pine trees, and a lovely place to swim, boat or jet ski. While there, we recommend enjoying a burger at the historic Forks Resort on the west shore. Miller's Landing a little further down is a fun place to take the kids for an ice cream.

A little jewel of a lake, favored by locals because it is pristine and off the beaten path of tourists. This is a taste of the sierras, at about the 6500 ft. level, and a nice cool escape from the blazing valley heat in the summer. It's only about 15 minutes beyond Shaver Lake, but like a totally different world of tranquility and nature.

Just a five minute drive from here, Lost Lake Park is a great place to go sit next to the beautiful San Joaquin river and enjoy a picnic lunch. Also a nice place to go for a walk in nature. There is a five dollar fee to drive in, but I usually park out on the road, and make the hike in part of my walk. Fun place to walk the dog and enjoy the sound of the rushing river.
