Nestled in the Sierra National Forest, Bass
Lake is a premier paddling destination in
California. The lake's western shore is
flanked by a towering pine forest, while the
eastern shore features a mix of oak, pine,
and waterfront homes. In the tranquil early
mornings, paddlers can enjoy outstanding
paddling conditions before the arrival of speedboats
and jet skis, which can make the water more
challenging later in the day.
As you paddle around Bass Lake, you won't be
lacking for views. Take a camera along and
keep your eyes peeled for the abundant
wildlife. Sightings of deer, gray foxes,
rabbits, coyotes, back-tailed deer, ground
squirrels, and raccoons are not uncommon.
Bears and bobcats can also be seen roaming
the area, along with eagles soaring over the
lake.
The area surrounding Bass Lake offers a
wealth of outdoor recreation. Visitors come
to enjoy the excellent fishing, paddling,
hiking and camping opportunities. Forks
Campground, nestled amidst a forested
landscape of cedar, ponderosa pine, and oak
trees, overlooks the serene waters of Bass
Lake. While some campsites provide limited
views of the lake, others are situated
adjacent to the meandering creek.
Whether you prefer kayaking, canoeing, stand-up
paddleboarding, or camping, you're sure to have a
memorable excursion at this scenic lake.
