     This lake is so wonderful. Summertime highs at Blue Lake frequently tend to be in the 90's. Through the dark hours of summer temperatures descend down into the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 50's; after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at Blue Lake fall into the 20's. You could also explore Little George Lake since you're here at Blue Lake; it's close by; the panoramas at Devils Postpile National Monument will blow your mind.

A lake nearby is Donkey Lake; Blue Lake is splendid enough to spend more than a day at, North Lake Campground is a splendid local campground. And that's not all you can do here at Blue Lake. There is a great hiking trail next to Blue Lake called the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section. There's  
               so much to do here at Blue Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Sabrina Campground is a great site for that.
So much fun stuff in the Central Sierra Nevada, just incredible. Get your heart pumping on the great whitewater of Kings River - Middle Fork; you can run the rapids of San Joaquin River - South Fork. Life's too short to enjoy all the entertaining stuff in the Central Sierra Nevada. The Kings River Trail is a perfect hiking trail in close proximity to Blue Lake; if you need a site to stay Days Inn Bishop is a good choice. This lake is so wonderful. Getting to Darwin Creek from Blue Lake is easy, and Super 8 Bishop is a delightful site to get some rest.
Blue Lake is a beautiful lake in the Central Sierra Nevada.

Sabrina Campground
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....

North Lake Campground
I have never seen it in the 90's in summer (way to high for those temps), and I am sure it is a heck of lot colder than 50's in the winter...

Big Trees Campground
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....
