typically a rather waterless place; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest month is June. This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Through the summertime months
highs here at Bear Lake reach the 70's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. The cold days of the winter come with highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down during the winter temperatures at Bear Lake descend into the
20's. On a tremendous day at Bear Lake you can take a hike along the Sherwin Lakes Trail. Lakes? Sure, Lower Morgan Lake is close at hand.

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.... |
Big Trees Campground
 | 12 miles away The only way to drop a kayak in Kings river is a very long drive (maybe 4-5 hours) to the west side or the range, or lugging it through the wilderness (over the spine).

Jackass's Meadows Campground
 | 16 miles away I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ... |
