     Summertime brings highs in the 90's to Birch Lake. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures fall down into the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 50's, and night lows all through the winter for Birch Lake tend to be in the 20's. This lake is so wonderful. But wait, there's more amusing stuff to do in the Central Sierra Nevada. If you get bored of Birch Lake, you could also check out nearby Tinemaha Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike  
   along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 11.
Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Central Sierra Nevada. A spree to Devils Postpile National Monument is recommended; after a long day outdoors Super 8 Bishop is a nice site to spend a night or two. Birch Lake is located in the Central Sierra Nevada. And if you're still looking for more outdoors entertaining things just keep reading. Camping is available at Sage Flat Campground, and if you need a site to
 
               stay Days Inn Bishop is a great choice.
A brilliant place to camp here at Birch Lake is Birch Campground, and the Kings River Trail offers hiking at its best. Not much rainfall falls here at Birch Lake; the wettest month of the year is mostly January, that's the one that rains the most while June is the month with the least amount of precipitation. A lake nearby is Brainerd Lake; if you're here, you might as well go to Southfork Pass.
This lake is so wonderful. The peak of Birch Mountain can be distinguished from Birch Lake, and there's good hiking along the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section.

Sabrina Campground
14 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
14 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). I think I would have to give a gold medal to anyone who would lug a kayak from Big Trees to Kings river. Just a heads-up....
