So many entertaining things to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada, too fine to be true. Here at Brown Bear Lake you can see Mount Gabb; there is a wonderful hiking trail close by called the Mammoth Rock Trail. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Mammoth Mountain if you're here, and a fine nearby hotel is Rodeway Inn Sierra Nevada. But wait, there's more to do in the neighborhood of Brown Bear Lake. A tremendous site to check out in the vicinity

in the 20's to Brown Bear Lake. This lake is so wonderful. A lake nearby is Teddy Bear Lake; Brown Bear Lake is a great place to visit for more than one day, Lake Inlet Campground is a great place to camp nearby. Whitewater paddling
is great on San Joaquin River - South Fork, unsurprisingly you could also go to Lake Italy while you're here; it's not far at all. The Central Sierra Nevada scenery is always beautiful. All year is a good time in the Central Sierra
Nevada if you have a thing about the outdoors. Paddling on Mono Creek is so much fun, and the Sherwin Lakes Trail is a great hiking trail nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Mosquito Flat Campground is a perfect local campground, and Devils Postpile National Monument is one of the destinations that are pleasant to stop at close by.

Jackass's Meadows Campground
 | 11 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. ... |

Sabrina Campground
 | 15 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
 | 16 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.... |
