     This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Yeah, come up here to the Central Sierra Nevada for a tremendous time. Have a splendid hiking adventure along the Kings River Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Second Falls Campground is a wonderful place to camp.

This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 11 will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area, and the peak of Observation Peak can be seen from Amphitheater Lake. Be careful coming to the Central Sierra Nevada, you might not ever want to return home again. Why not camp at First Falls Campground if you're here at Amphitheater

Sabrina Campground
12 miles away
I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories....
